We’ll have a pleasant enough day with highs mostly in the 70s Thursday and Friday. A prolonged stretch of hot, humid weather builds in this weekend into next week. 

Enjoy a couple more cooler days before the heat builds

After we burn off morning fog and low clouds decrease, Thursday will be pleasant with highs in the mid-70s pretty much statewide with partly cloudy skies. Northern Minnesota could still see a couple isolated showers or thunder with some lingering instability.  

Friday will be our last somewhat cooler day with temperatures averaging a few degrees cooler than normal, in the mid to upper 70s. There may be an isolated thundershower in western Minnesota. 

Then get ready for heat and humidity. Saturday won’t be too steamy yet, but highs will reach the 80s in the Twin Cities for the first time in two weeks and dew points will creep up by the evening and overnight Saturday night. 

The heat is likely sticking around and may peak early next week. A heat dome will be setting up in the central U.S., creating temperatures well into the 80s and 90s for at least a week, if not more.

Highs Monday could be in the mid to upper 90s, combined with dew points that will be in the 70s. That will make for potential heat index values in the triple digits across the southern parts of Minnesota.

There will be chances of storms, too, but timing and placing them at this point is still a bit obscure. We’ll likely be capped, or too warm aloft for daytime storms, but overnight and early mornings may yield rain and thunder on some days early next week.
