Increasing sunshine on Monday in Twin Cities; more rain later this week

The Twin Cities will enjoy a lovely first day of meteorological summer.

After some spotty morning showers, highs Monday will reach to near 80 degrees under partly cloudy skies.

Tuesday also looks great with sunshine and highs in the low 80s. Wednesday will be dry until late, when showers and thunderstorms arrive and roll through overnight — kicking off an active pattern that will bring spotty rain and storm chances into the weekend.

The metro will also get hotter this weekend with highs in the upper 80s. It will also be muggy, though not oppressively so.
