Another mild spring day is on tap, with temperatures climbing into the 60s and 70s. Expect partly cloudy skies, along with a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms. The work week will kick off cooler, with breezy winds and temperatures in the 50s.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are developing in the forecast for Sunday as the next weather system moves into the Upper Midwest. Rainfall is expected to be light, with totals ranging from a few hundredths to a tenth of an inch—so no heavy downpours are expected. However, northern Minnesota may experience heavier rainfall amounts.

Sunday night into Monday, northern Minnesota could experience a wintry mix, with the possibility of an inch or two of slushy accumulation, primarily on grassy surfaces.

Expect some breaks in the cloud cover on Sunday, with temperatures warming back into the 60s and 70s. However, the 50s will stick around up north where cloud cover will be more persistent.

Sunday night, temperatures drop into the low 40s, with 30s for central and northern areas. 

Winds will pick up and become quite breezy out of the west-northwest as the cold front moves through.

These breezy winds will help bring in more seasonal temperatures as we start the work week, with highs on Monday reaching the mid-50s. Lingering cloud cover, spotty showers, and those breezy winds will stick around throughout the day.

Sunshine is set to return on Tuesday, with seasonal temperatures sticking around. By midweek, warmer highs in the 60s and 70s will settle in. Our next chance for precipitation looks to come Thursday and Friday.
