High temperatures will soar to near 80 in southern Minnesota Tuesday as strong south winds blow in warm air. A cold front will touch off some evening showers and thunderstorms. Some of those could be strong. Colder air moves in for Wednesday.
August like day Tuesday
It will feel more like a mid to late August day Tuesday as many of us see afternoon highs near 80. Blustery south winds will below in the warm at 10-25 mph. A cold front will touch off some thunderstorms Tuesday evening, however.
Some of those storms could be strong to severe even, a rarity for mid-October in Minnesota.
Cold air blows back in
The blustery winds switch from the northwest Tuesday night into Wednesday bringing in an October reality check. Temperatures will be mainly in the 50s to near 60 Wednesday but just 40s and low 50s Thursday and Friday.
We’ll likely see more freezing overnight temperatures Thursday night and this blast of colder air will stick around longer.
