Fall color 2021 running 1 to 2 weeks later than last year
The annual fall color progression is running later than last year in Minnesota. Our warm summer and early fall are likely the cause.
Some summery days this week; rain may hold off until Thursday
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.
Above-average Monday temps, with plenty of sunshine
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.
