Temperatures warm to 60 before potential record-breaking warmth on Monday
Another beautiful day is on the way Sunday, with plenty of sunshine helping to melt more snow.
It will be a bit breezy, but highs climbed to 60 in the afternoon, marking the first 60-degree day of the year. That's two degrees below the record high of 62 set in 2021.
Temperatures are expected to reach the mid-60s on Monday and could come close to breaking the record high of 66 at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. Some parts of Minnesota may get as warm as 70.
Winds will be up Monday, which has prompted a fire weather watch for western Minnesota and part of the Twin Cities through the evening.
Things cool a touch Tuesday behind a dry cold front, but temperatures will remain seasonable near 40 before we climb again into the end of the week.
The potential is high for another strong storm Friday into Saturday. It looks to bring mostly rain and strong winds, but there could be some snow on the back side as temperatures fall back down to freezing.
