Highlights:
- Storm chances for some by this afternoon/ evening
- Turning hot and humid
- Better chances of widespread rain by the middle of next week
Plan To Sweat…The period opens with a challenging northwest flow aloft. Already this morning we note a complex of showers and thunderstorms across MN and IA. This storm complex will continue to drop to the southeast and will likely impact portions of the state later this afternoon and evening- especially north and northeast areas. An additional storm complex is possible Friday.
The big story to close the week and head into the weekend will be the push of hot, humid air. Many will be close to 90 degrees tomorrow and widespread lower 90s are a lock Saturday. Plan for frequent breaks if your plans take you outside for any length of time.
As we look deeper into next week we note an increasingly wet and stormy signal on the models and will trend our forecast in that direction for the middle and latter portions of the week.
