This is it Minnesota. This is the weekend you’ve been waiting for.
Minnesotans are hearty weather folk.
We put up with December days when it gets dark at 4 p.m.
We endure bitter life-threatening Janaury windchills of minus 40 degrees.
We risk white-knuckle February commutes in a foot of snow on icy roads.
We grimace through freak April snowstorms when daffodils should be blooming.
Yes, we earn our summers in Minnesota. It’s time for our reward.
Summer sunset on Lake Minnetonka.

Sunset 9 p.m. through July 10
This is my favorite month of the year in Minnesota. Our sunset time is now 9 p.m. or later through July 10. We are now in the brightest month of the year in Minnesota.

Daylight graph for Minneapolis

With our long evening daylight on clear nights in open areas, it’s basically light enough to see outside until 10 p.m.
Congratulations Minnesota. We are in the “civil twilight zone” for about the next month.

Spectacular Saturday
It’s hard to come up with a recipe for a better summer Saturday in Minnesota. The morning begins frosty for parts of northeast Minnesota. But temperatures will warm rapidly by afternoon.
Another frosty night is expected for portions of the Northland, with overnight lows in the lower to middle 30s. Check out this graphic for ways to protect your outdoor plants from the #frost. #mnwx#wiwxpic.twitter.com/K7aWJY7i1V
Highs in the 60s cover northeast Minnesota. Highs in the 70s to near 80 degrees favor the south. With low humidity and light southeast breezes, it doesn’t get much better.

Summery Sunday
South winds pipe up again Sunday. Gust could exceed 30 mph+ Sunday. That will whip up some whitecaps on Minnesota lakes Sunday.
Highs reach the 70s in most of Minnesota, to low 80s south by Sunday afternoon. Cooler by your favorite lake.

Heat next week
It still looks like we’ll see a respectable dose of heat and humidity next week. Forecast models have backed off the notion of 100 degrees, but highs well into the 90s look likely by Tuesday.
European model (ECMWF) temperature forecast 1 p.m. June 16.
