80s linger into Friday; steamy weekend
Minnesota enjoyed some of the best weather in the country this Tuesday. We had plenty of sunshine and humidity levels were nice and low. High temps were in the 80s in most areas, with some 70s in northeastern Minnesota. A few spots in far western Minnesota topped 90. I mentioned to someone that our Tuesday…
Dry weather again today
Today will be just about a replay of yesterday’s lovely weather. Expect sunny skies, warm-but-not-too-hot temperatures and low humidities. Afternoon high temperatures should be mostly in the upper 70s to mid 80s except cooler near Lake Superior. The Twin Cities should warm to about 82 on a day when the normal high is 76. We…
Pleasant weather continues
We “only” reached an official high temp of 82 degrees in the Twin Cities metro area on Monday. That’s still well above our average high of 76 degrees, and it felt very comfortable. Our streak of consecutive days with a high of 90 degrees in the Twin Cities ended at three. That’s still quite rare…
Cooler weather begins today
High temperatures Monday and Tuesday should range mainly from the upper 70s to the mid 80s except near Lake Superior where cooler temperatures will prevail. The Twin Cities should have high temperatures near 80 both days.
A warm Sunday; cooler on Monday
It’s been very summery the past few days. Our average high temp this time of year is 75 degrees in the Twin Cities metro area, but we touched 90 degrees on both Friday and Saturday at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Our Sunday will be warm in central and southern Minnesota, with highs in the 80s…
Warm Sunday, but less humid
Strong thunderstorms moved through parts of south-central and southeastern Minnesota late Saturday afternoon and early Saturday evening, but most spots in the Twin Cities metro area didn’t see any rain. There were some small areas of rain that popped up in the metro at times. It’s been quite a while since significant rain has been…
A muggy Saturday with scattered thunderstorms
It’ll feel very summery this Saturday in central and southern Minnesota, with dew point temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s and high temps in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees. Scattered thunderstorms are expected Saturday afternoon and evening over eastern Minnesota and into Wisconsin, and some of those thunderstorms could become severe.…
Warm weekend coming with some storms
June heat really launched into Minnesota today. Most of the state away from Lake Superior warmed well into the 80s or low 90s. The Twin Cities hit 90 for the first time this year after reaching “only” 84 during May. The weekend will be warmer than normal, but less hot than Friday. Scattered thunderstorms will be…
