Minnesota weather: Morning clouds fade to afternoon sun Tuesday

Tuesday starts cloudy but turns bright by the afternoon, as temperatures remain seasonable before the warming trend begins on Wednesday. 

Tuesday forecast 

It’s a seasonable and pleasant day on Tuesday. Southern and central Minnesota will see widespread highs in the lower 70s, while northern Minnesota will see temperatures in the 60s. 

A weak system moving eastward may bring some early morning drips to the western metro, but it will fizzle out by the morning. Clouds lingering from the morning will gradually clear by midday, giving way to pleasant sunshine by the afternoon, with light winds from the south to west at around 5 mph.

Overnight, temperatures will drop into the lower 50s and upper 40s across the state.

Midweek forecast

The warming trend begins on Wednesday as above-average temperatures return for the remainder of the week. Expect sunny skies and a high of 77 degrees on Wednesday, followed by more sunshine on Thursday. 

The tranquil conditions will follow us through the end of the weekend, with the warmth peaking on Friday when highs are expected to reach around 80 degrees in the Twin Cities metro.
