A fresh breeze is blowing through Minnesota. 

A cool front is pumping in relief from Tuesday’s one-day heat event. You can see on the temperature map above that temperatures in the 60s and 70s have pushed out the gnarly heat wave that still covers most of the central and southern U.S. 

Minnesota enjoys plenty of sunshine with highs in the 70s and 80s through Friday. 

And our inbound air mass is much more comfortable. Dew points will hover in the 40s and 50s across most of Minnesota through Friday. Check out NOAA’s GFS model dew point output across Minnesota through Thursday. 

Enjoy the respite from Tuesday’s heat. An even hotter air mass looks likely to blow into Minnesota by Sunday and Monday. 

NOAA’s upper air forecast shows a highly amplified heat dome setting up over the central U.S. this weekend. 

High temperatures Sunday could reach 100 degrees west of the Twin Cities.

By Monday, the Twin Cities could be in the 100-degree heat zone.

So enjoy our pleasant weather through Friday!
