Canada’s high pressure slipped into the upper Midwest last night after a strong cold front passed. The resulting air temperature was much cooler than it was just 24 hours ago, but the temperature quickly tends to rise!
The wind remains light from the east with high pressure tonight on the north. The temperature is on the mild side compared to the average during this period, with the low temperatures around 30F. The sky remains largely clear, except that some thin fur clouds drift.
The winds will be out of the south on Wednesday, exposing our area to modest warming throughout the day. Helping our cause will bring lots of sunlight! High climbs across southeastern Minnesota from the center of 50F to the top and upwards, then over northern Iowa and pushes upwards 60F!
Wednesday nights will only fall in the mid-30F, which is more than 10F above the average lows of this period. But wait, it gets better!
Thursday’s highs aren’t the issue of reaching all 60Fs in southeastern Minnesota and northern Iowa, with some Northern Iowa locations pushing the 70F! We are also exposed to sunlight, but sometimes it may be removed thanks to thin fur and fur clouds.
Thursday nights feel like summer, with lows close to 50F. This is almost 30F warmer than the average low at this time of year. This is about 22F!
The warming trend peaked on Friday, climbing to 70F, where high temperatures across the region are low. Deep south flows in front of the approaching storm system help transport warmer air north.
The bottom line means that it will definitely be beautiful for the next few days.
