Temperatures are gradually warming today and tomorrow as high pressure shifts southeast, bringing milder southwest winds. A few scattered showers may develop in northeast Minnesota by Wednesday.

Gradually warm-up early this week 

Cooler air is moving out as high pressure shifts east. In its wake, southwest winds are bringing in warmer air through midweek. Some areas may see light sprinkles in the morning, but skies will clear by afternoon. Highs today will reach the mid-70s for most, with temperatures near 80° possible in the Red River Valley.
