It’s Maytag repairman time in weather offices around Minnesota this week.
If you’re not old enough to remember that cheesy commercial, it means forecasting is a little easier this week. No troubled fronts to track storm timing. No extreme heat index values to calculate. Now slow-moving, back-building thunderstorm complexes to assess for flash flood risk.
High and dry
A few renegade showers dotted radars along the North Shore Monday and in the Twin Cities overnight. The bulk of the forecast this week centers on relatively weak but effective bubbles of high pressure drifting south from Canada.
Highs near 80
Highs continue to run a few degrees either side of 80 degrees this week in most of Minnesota.

Ideal for human comfort
Want to know why many Minnesotans are snowbirds? Weeks like this in summer. Dew points this week are almost ideal for human comfort. Check out Wednesday’s dew point map below. Comfy 50s across most of Minnesota. All the gunky 70-degree dew points are shoved down into Iowa and beyond.
Perfect.
Weak front Saturday?
There are signs of a weak cold front sagging south across Minnesota Saturday. That could be the next chance for scattered to widespread thunderstorms.
Enjoy our blissful weather week.
