Another surge of 80s to near 90 degrees for Minnesota Tuesday and Wednesday.

The annual fall color progression is running later than last year in Minnesota. Our warm summer and early fall are likely the cause.

Temperatures will be warmer than normal for several more days. We have details on that, plus a fresh look at our rain chances later this week.

Our Monday afternoon highs will be a bit cooler than Sunday’s highs, but still well above average.

Temperatures more typical of summer continue across Minnesota most of our first full week of fall, with sunshine the first part of the week, then a few showers late in the week.

The first full week of fall brings a pleasant trend of 70s and 80s across most of Minnesota, with plenty of sunshine the first half of the week.

A pleasant Saturday will lead us into an extended period of summerlike temperatures beginning on Sunday. Scattered rain showers could arrive later next week.

With wind speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour, Sam was a Category 3 hurricane and was expected to become a Category 4 by Sunday. But forecasters say it currently poses little threat to land.

A comfortably cool Saturday will be followed by warmer-than-normal temperatures on Sunday and for the upcoming week. Our next chances of rain will arrive later next week.

Saturday starts cool. Highs in the 70s return Sunday afternoon across much of Minnesota.
