Pleasant conditions to start the work week with high pressure in control. At or slightly below seasonal temperatures expected this week. Our next chance for spotty thunder and shower activity will be later this week.
High pressure over the Hudson Bay will help keep the weather away. Any activity is expected to stay well to our south and west. Temperatures for Monday afternoon will warm into the low 80s, with upper 70s for northeast Minnesota.
Monday night our low temperatures will drop into the upper 50s to low 60s. It will be chillier in the arrowhead region with low to mid-50s forecasted. Fog is expected to develop in low-lying, valley areas once again.
Possible storms late Thursday
As we inch closer to the start of the State Fair, all eyes will be on the weather. Our next weather wrinkle moves in late Thursday, bringing with it the chance for spotty thunderstorms. The exact timing and placement of this feature is still unclear, but the forecast models agree there will be a chance.
Temperatures will gradually warm up into the mid to upper 80s for the weekend, with the possibility of hitting the 90s once again. Our dew points will be increasing during this time as well, returning to the 60s once again. It wouldn’t be a State Fair without some sunshine and 90-degree temperatures.
