Wren Clair says dry and mild weather holds

High temperatures again soar into the mid-80s today, falling just a few degrees shy of our record high temperature of 88° for the Twin Cities. Morning lows today were near 60 degrees, which is closer to our average high temperatures in the mid-60s for this time of year.

A cold front to our west tracks west to east this afternoon and evening. This front passes as a dry front, with breezy southerly winds ahead of the front, and breezy northwesterly winds behind the cold front.

Given our dry and warm September, as well as a hot and breezy Monday with dry air in place, a Fire Weather Warning is in place for most of Minnesota now through 9PM tonight. Outdoor burning is not advised, and any fire that starts is likely to spread rapidly.

Tomorrow’s highs are seasonably in the mid to upper-60s with breezy northwesterly winds. Wednesday’s highs are again in the low-80s.

Overall temperatures stay in the mid to low-70s through the next seven days, which is still about ten degrees above average for the first week of October.

Dry skies hold through this week as well.

Have a wonderful day!

Wren
