Warmer and drier than normal this week
We’re in a stagnant pattern with an upper-level ridge parked over the north central United States thanks to two “stuck” upper-level lows in the southwest and southeast.

We have a gorgeous day Monday with lots of sunshine and above-normal temperatures. Highs will be in the 70s for most of the state except the North Shore where it will be in the 50s and 60s right near Lake Superior.

Behind the cool front it’ll be cooler Wednesday statewide. Highs will be in the low 70s for southern Minnesota with mainly 60s north.
We’ll see warmer temperatures build back in for the end of the week and a weekend with highs well into the 70s to near 80 degrees once again.
