Lingering spotty sprinkles will continue to fizzle out Tuesday morning. For most it will be another very warm, muggy day. More storms develop Wednesday night and Thursday.

Very warm, muggy conditions persist this week with a wet pattern developing late week

Lingering spotty sprinkles will continue to fizzle out Tuesday morning. Most of us will be in for another very warm and muggy day Tuesday. Highs will be well into the 80s with dew points in the 60s. Temperatures will again be 15 degrees above normal. 

Wednesday will continue the warm weather trend with slightly lower dew points in eastern Minnesota. Highs will be back into the mid-80s across southern Minnesota.

The first round of scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop mainly Wednesday night, though some spotty storms will be possible during the day Wednesday also. 

More storms will be possible later in the day Thursday into Thursday night with redevelopment. 

Storms that develop could be strong to severe. There’s a slight risk (level 2 of 5) already forecast for a narrow area of Minnesota Thursday. 

Friday looks mainly dry for most, but another system will develop over the weekend and into early next week. Much of the state could see rainfall. The models have started to shift the track of the weekend system some so we’ll have to keep an eye on it to see where the bulk of the rain sets up.

We’ll also see temperatures finally trend downward, but still near or slightly above normal early next week.
