Record warmth possible tomorrow through the weekend

Hazy skies are noticeable this evening across central and southern Minnesota due to wildfire smoke from Texas, but our air quality is not a concern tonight. We do have windy and dry conditions leading to an increased fire risk across especially southern Minnesota this evening.

High temperatures tomorrow look to reach into the low-60s in the Twin Cities, potentially breaking our record of 59°, 1990. Your Friday forecast stays breezy with southerly winds. The elevated fire risk holds tomorrow and potentially over the weekend with breezy winds and mainly dry conditions.

Sunny skies are in place tomorrow, with partly cloudy skies over the weekend. Saturday’s record high is 54°, 1923, and we are looking at highs in the low-60s. Sunday is the peak of the warmth with highs near 70°. Rain and storms are in the forecast late Sunday with a cold front moving through, and this could lead to locally moderate rainfall. Sunday night into Monday a wintry mix is possible.

Have a wonderful night!
