Breezy winds will diminish into Monday night, bringing a clear and calm evening. Finally, a dry day is in the forecast for Tuesday, with temperatures warming as we head into the holiday week.

Spotty shower activity will diminish after sunset, leaving behind quiet and calm conditions. 

Breezy northwest winds will ease late Monday night. 

Temperatures will drop into the upper 50s to low 60s Monday night, accompanied by lighter winds and clear skies.

Our best chance for a dry day arrives Tuesday as Canadian high pressure settles in. Expect seasonal temperatures in the low to mid-80s, accompanied by plenty of sunshine.

On Wednesday, temperatures and dew points will rise slightly with highs reaching the mid-80s and some upper 80s possible in western Minnesota. A weaker cold front may bring a chance of light showers.

With rising heat and humidity toward the end of the week, storm chances will increase Friday into Saturday. A front will trigger stronger showers and thunderstorms, potentially impacting firework viewing. 

More details will follow in the coming days.
