Well, we have a very warm day today out ahead of a weak cool front that'll drop temperatures
00:04
the next couple of days. Still above normal, still lots of sunshine, but temperatures will
00:07
be a good 10 degrees cooler before things warm up yet again.
00:20
So temperatures will soar into the low to mid 80s today across central and southern
00:24
Minnesota. Again, 60s though in northwestern Minnesota, that weak cool front will divide
00:29
the temperatures here across the state a little bit. We can see that wind shift on satellite imagery
00:33
and just a few clouds with it. We're going to look for just some isolated, very isolated showers for
00:38
northern Minnesota. That's going to be it as far as precip goes up front, mostly going through pretty
00:43
quietly with just a wind shift. So if you do experience a spotty shower or two in northern
00:49
Minnesota, consider yourself lucky because for the most part, there is just not a lot of moisture for
00:53
that to produce much. Certainly nothing in the form of measurable rainfall. Behind the front, cooler
00:59
tomorrow, near 70 in the Twin Cities, 60s across northern Minnesota, and cooler near Lake Superior.
01:05
But those temperatures are still actually above normal for the date. So we're going to see fluctuations
01:09
in temperature, but overall still above normal. And that upper level ridge still very pronounced here
01:14
across the central U.S. with those two upper level lows still kind of sitting in place across the
01:20
southwest and the east. Now that southwest one does track through the southern states, but overall the
01:26
ridge really wants to stay in place here. As long as we have that upper level ridge in place overall in
01:31
the central U.S., that means warmer than normal conditions and also pretty dry. It's hard to get much in the
01:36
way of gulf moisture or significant storm systems to take advantage of any moisture when we have that
01:42
upper level pattern in place. By Friday, we are back into the 80s across central and southern
01:47
Minnesota. And we have another very weak cool front coming through. Friday night, a couple of very
01:52
isolated showers similar to today. Consider yourself lucky if you get a shower. Certainly no widespread
01:58
showers and unlikely to see much in the way of thunderstorms. In fact, with that ridge remaining
02:03
overall in place and just these minor cool fronts coming through, temperatures are going to continue to
02:08
be normal and actually build towards next week. We're talking about 80s for highs probably all of next
02:15
week. Possibility of 90. About half the models produce 90 degrees at some point next week. This is the European
02:21
model. 92 it has for next Thursday. Now that is still nine days away, but it's something to pay attention to since
02:29
half the models are there already. In fact, when we crunch the numbers, about a 45% probability based on the
02:35
different computer models we have right now for our first 90 next week. Now on average, that would come about May 31st
02:41
in the modern average. So this would be a little early if we do it. Our 80 degree reading was a few days
02:46
late. So we'll see how this pans out. 83 though today. Sunshine, warmer, that front blows through
02:52
tonight. So cooler the next couple days, but still very nice. 71. Normal high is about 66. So we'll still
02:58
be several degrees above that. Back into the 80s Friday. You notice lots of sunshine still here on the
03:03
forecast. Just a few scattered clouds early Saturday. Otherwise, a sunny afternoon again. And just a touch
03:09
cooler behind that weak front Friday night. 78 Saturday, but back into the 80s here Sunday,
03:14
Monday. And again, we'll look for temperatures to be potentially even warmer than the low to mid 80s
03:19
by the middle and latter part of next week.
