It’s a bright spring blue sky over the Weather Lab Tuesday afternoon.
That blue sky brings the promise of abundant sunshine and gradually milder temperatures this week. Then it appears our spring warming trend kicks into a higher gear next week.
Frosty start
The temperature bottomed out at 36 degrees at Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport and at St. Paul’s Holman Field this morning. But lows dipped into the lower 30s around the Twin Cities. Here are some select low temperatures from Tuesday morning around the Twin Cities.
MSP Airport 36 degrees
St. Paul Airport 36 degrees
Eden Prairie 34 degrees
Blaine 30 degrees
Lakeville 28 degrees
Back to the 60s
Highs in the 60s rule much of Minnesota the rest of this week. Wednesday brings more bright sunshine and plenty of 60s.
We may see a few more clouds roll in from Thursday afternoon through Friday. Highs reach the upper 60s by Friday.
More sustained warmth next week
Next week looks very nice on the medium-range weather maps. Highs likely more consistently reach the 70s across much of Minnesota next week.
