If you like placid late summer weather it doesn’t get much better than this.
Weak bubbles of high pressure will generally produce warm dry weather this week. While there may be a couple of bouts of isolated to scattered thundershowers, much more of this week will be dry than rainy. Throw in abundant sunshine, comfortable humidity and light winds and you’ve got a recipe for beautiful outdoor weather this week.
High temperatures this week will run mostly in the lower 80s across Minnesota.
Right now forecast models are not cranking out any organized widespread rainfall events. A chance for spotty thundershowers arrives late Wednesday. Another chance for an occasional thunderstorm appears to favor the upcoming weekend.
The Canadian model drags a slow-moving frontal zone through with scattered storms Saturday night through Sunday. The forecast loop below runs between 7 p.m. Saturday and 1 a.m. Monday.
So, enjoy our mostly tranquil late summer weather this week. One thing we all know about Minnesota, it won’t last forever.
