Record warmth likely tomorrow, with more sunshine next two days

Here’s your Tuesday evening forecast for January 30, 2024 from Minnesota’s Weather Authority and Meteorologist Wren Clair.

Good evening! While today has been another mainly cloudy day, we are looking at sunshine returning for your Wednesday forecast. Cloud cover will decrease overnight opening up to partly to mostly sunny skies by tomorrow morning. Patchy fog is possible overnight, but this will be more of a concern west and north of the Twin Cities (especially far northwestern Minnesota).

High temperatures tomorrow are in the mid-50s in the metro tomorrow, with temperatures west and southwest of the metro reaching into the upper-50s (potentially a few low-60s). Record highs across much of Minnesota will be set tomorrow. Unlike this Monday’s record high temperatures that surpassed the previous record high by one degree, tomorrow’s record high of 46° for the Twin Cities could be surpassed by about eight degrees (which is a massive margin).

Thursday is another sunny forecast, but a little cooler with highs in the upper-40s. Cloud cover increases late Thursday with mostly cloudy skies Friday and Saturday. Friday’s high temperatures are the coolest in the 7-day forecast with temperatures mainly in the upper-30s (maybe low-40s if we can get a couple peaks of sunshine).

Overall, this 7-day does not feature winter weather for this part of the country, and we don’t have any significant chance for precipitation.

Have a wonderful night!
