Synopsis
A weather disturbance to our north will be moving east and out of the picture this evening, with the next one scheduled for Friday night and then another Sunday night. There might even be another disturbance sometime Monday or Tuesday. The systems will be rather weak and associated moisture will be mainly north of the MSP area. So during this period we will likely have occasional patches of mainly high clouds but the threat of rain very low. Overall, lots of sunshine through Sunday and probably beyond.
Looking farther down the road – guidance indicates high pressure aloft will move over our area for the last half of next week. If so sunny and becoming very warm.
Temperatures this afternoon will be mostly 80 to 90 degrees. Readings will warm 2 or 3 degrees Friday and then not change much over the weekend and early next week – plus or minus a degree or two each day.
Peak wind gusts this afternoon will be 12 to 18 mph. Friday there could be local gusts to around 20 mph and Saturday to around 15 mph.
