70-degree highs the next few days
The normal highs range from the upper 40s to the mid 50s today and we’ll see readings about 15-degrees above that. Much of southern and western Minnesota will see 70-degrees or warmer this afternoon with more sunshine and light winds.
Thursday looks to be the warmest day in this latest October ‘heat wave.’ Highs will be in the mid 70s in the Twin Cities with some near 80-degree readings possible west.
The first of a couple minor chance of rain develops Friday in western and parts of northern Minnesota.
The next statewide chance of showers develops late Saturday into Sunday and Sunday night as a slow-moving cool front moves across the state.
It will finally drop temperatures to more realistic readings, mostly in the 50s next week. Those readings will still be slightly above normal. There continues to be no ‘real cold’ air in sight.
