Temperatures are mostly in the 60s and even 50s in northern Minnesota early Wednesday morning. It will still be warmer than normal, but more pleasant in the 80s and 70s across Minnesota before it heats up again Thursday.

A cooler start and pleasant Wednesday

Temperatures are cooler and most importantly dew point temperatures are much lower. We went from a dew point of 72 early Tuesday to 48 at one point Tuesday evening. That equates to half as much water content in the air. It sure makes a difference, even though we did again hit 90 Tuesday afternoon.

Look for high temperatures to be in the 80s south and 70s north Wednesday with lots of sunshine.
