Wednesday through the weekend will bring warmer-than-normal temperatures. We also have at least some hopeful signs of some moisture. Showers develop later Thursday and again Sunday. 

Above-normal-temperatures ahead along with increased chance of hopeful moisture 

Those who’ve been patently waiting for consistent warm weather will be rewarded in the next several days. Wednesday through at least Sunday or Monday look to bring warmer-than-normal temperatures for most of central and southern Minnesota. We’ll see highs in the 70s south and west again Wednesday with 60s and 50s northeast. We’ll also have lots of sun Wednesday. It won’t be as windy as Tuesday but still breezy at 10, 15 and even 20 mph at times from the northwest. 

Thursday will be warmer with highs well into the 70s across central, southern and western Minnesota. We’ll see cloud cover increase in the afternoon as our next disturbance develops scattered showers and thunderstorms that will start midday Thursday in western Minnesota and track east into the late afternoon and evening Thursday. 

Temperatures that are average for late June or early July move in for Friday and the weekend. Highs Friday will be into the low to mid-80s across southern Minnesota.

While widespread, soaking rain cannot be guaranteed, the pattern at least looks to become more active later in the weekend and early next week. The chance of thunder will be on the increase. We may even need to monitor potential severe weather Sunday or Monday.
