A beautiful fall-like Sunday, followed by a quiet evening. High pressure will bring clear skies and cooler lows around 50 degrees for the metro, while other areas statewide may drop into the low to mid 40s. A frost advisory is in effect for northeastern Minnesota.

"Seasonal" hasn't been a common word this September, as highs have averaged 5-10 degrees above normal for the Twin Cities. Some areas of the state have even experienced temperatures 20 degrees above average at times.

Look for a short stretch of highs in the upper 60s to low 70s to start the work week. 

Very little cloud cover with high pressure overhead, so expect an abundance of sunshine. 

We can expect another warm streak of above-average temperatures, accompanied by a shift in winds to the south. Highs climbing back into the upper 70s and low 80s, with dew points remaining comfortable in the 40s and 50s. 

Our particularly dry and warm September looks to continue through the end of month. The 6-10 day Climate Prediction Center outlook shows above-average highs and below-average precipitation. 

September is shaping up to be a bonus “summer” month.
