NEXT Weather: Back to the 50s Wednesday, with some wind and clouds in Twin Cities
MINNEAPOLIS — Highs will climb into the 50s in the Twin Cities on Wednesday, though it will be windy and cloudy at times, too.
The forecast high is 52 in the metro, and though clouds will move in later, we'll see a good amount of sunshine, too. Up north will be cooler and cloudier.
Due to strong winds and relatively low humidity, the National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning in western and southwestern Minnesota due to extreme fire risk. The alert is effective from noon to 6 p.m.
A weak disturbance will pass through Thursday morning, then a larger storm slides by to the south and east on Friday. Temperatures will return to the 40s to end the work week.
The weekend will be sunny, and temperatures will be back above 50 by Sunday. The warming trend will carry over into next week, with highs likely near 60. No bigs storms are in sight.
