Get ready to enjoy some free AC, Minnesota.

A cool front sweeping through is pumping much less humid air into Minnesota. Dew points reached the tropical 70s in the Twin Cities around midday Tuesday. But much lower dew points in the 40s and 50s are working into western Minnesota, as you can see on the dew point map below.

A check of temperatures and dew points in the Twin Cities shows the dew point plunging from 72 to 60 degrees early Tuesday afternoon as the front blew through.

Our drier air mass will set up shop over Minnesota through the rest of this week. Highs will be in the lower 80s by Thursday and 70s north. Free AC indeed.

Lows will drop into the 40s north and 50s south late this week. Good sleeping weather as the parents used to say.
