Trending dry again
The weather pattern across the Upper Midwest looks dry well into next week.
Our low humidity, winds, and breezes are drying soils pretty quickly again. That’s good news for areas like southwestern Minnesota that saw 4 to 8 inches of rain in the past couple of weeks. But many lawns, gardens, and fields could use some water.
