Sunny and seasonal

"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.
