The warm up continues as 70s return to most of southern Minnesota today. Tomorrow will be windy and even warmer with widespread 80s. Storms are possible again Thursday.

High pressure brings sunshine today as temps warm even more 

The climb upward in temperatures continues today. We’ll see widespread highs in the 70s across southern Minnesota with an 80-degree reading possible in the southwest corner of the state. The Arrowhead and North Shore will be cooler, in the 50s. Look for lots of sun thanks to high pressure and light winds. 

It’ll be even warmer tomorrow as temperatures soar into the 80s across southern Minnesota. In the Twin Cities it’ll be our second this month. We’ll start to see high, cirrus clouds increase, filtering the sun some in the afternoon Wednesday but otherwise it’ll be sun-filled again. 

We are eyeing a potentially stormy setup for Thursday. An upper level low will drop in the west, pushing not just warm air, but more humid air north out ahead of it  which could help fuel storms late Thursday as the system moves in. Storms that develop could be strong to severe Thursday. 

Behind the system temps will drop once again. We’ll see highs back in the 50s and 60s in southern Minnesota with mostly 40s and some 50s north Friday into the weekend.
