Complete storm summaries are likely to be released on Monday.

Cooler and less humid

Northwesterly winds will bring us cooler and less humid air on Monday. A nearby high pressure system will deliver light winds on Tuesday:

rt619allfronts

A chance of showers and thunderstorms returns Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Daytime highs on Monday will be much cooler than Sunday's highs:

rt620h

Upper 70s to lower 80s are expected over southern Minnesota. Those are very typical highs for this time of year, much more typical than the steamy 90s that we saw on Sunday!

I hope you have a good week!
