Temperatures will be in the low to mid-80s for the first half of the week before cooler air moves in. We’ll be looking at just isolated to spotty thunderstorm chances. 

Seasonable temperatures with mainly isolated thunderstorm chances

Monday will be a pretty seasonable mid-August day. Look for partly cloudy skies and highs in the low to mid-80s across central Minnesota with slightly cooler temperatures north and south. 

Muggier air will be depart just south, allowing for dew points to drop temporarily into the 50s. Look for stickier dew points — back in the 60s — already for Tuesday.

As that moisture moves back northward Monday night, it will potentially touch off at least a few thunderstorms in southern Minnesota into early Tuesday. There’s even a marginal (level 1 of 5) severe risk for far southern Minnesota. 

It’ll be more of the same for Tuesday with highs again back in the 70s and 80s with some patchy clouds after morning thunder in the south. 

After Tuesday, any rain or thunder chances are pretty isolated. We will se some cool air move in late week, however. Highs will be in the 70s for most with some cool overnights Thursday into the weekend.
