Normal temperatures are expected at the start of the work week, with highs warming back into the upper 70s by Wednesday. There’s little to no precipitation in the forecast due to high pressure overhead.

Welcome to the first day of fall! The autumnal equinox occurred at 7:43 a.m. Sunday morning. Sunrise for September 22nd was 7:01 a.m. and sunset at 7:09 p.m. 

Temperatures are in line with the season, with highs reaching the mid to upper 60s, and around 70 for the metro area. 

High pressure will take hold this week and provide plenty of sunshine and calm winds. 

Little to no precipitation is expected this week. Future analysis indicates no precipitation chances for the Upper Midwest.

Temperatures will trend upwards towards the upper 70s by Wednesday. We’ll see another stretch of above-normal temperatures, with highs in the mid to upper 70s through at least the end of the week. Portions of western Minnesota may even see temperatures in the 80s.
