Windows open Minnesota.
A refreshingly dry and pleasant air mass is blowing in early this week. Dew points have dropped from the steamy 70s late last week to the cozy 50s across most of Minnesota. Minnesota enjoys the benefits of a much drier air mass sailing southward from Canada. The sticky dew points in the 60s and 70s have been pushed southward.
Warming trend this week
We’ll see plenty of August sunshine this week across Minnesota. High temperatures gradually rise through the 80s as this week rolls on.
Tropical air mass returns
Enjoy the respite from the humidity. Southerly winds return by Wednesday. The sticky air mass blows northward once again. Watch as a tongue of higher dew points works northward into Minnesota as the week deepens.
Most of this week looks dry. Scattered thunderstorms may return Friday night or Saturday.
