After quiet Thursday, warm-up will begin in Twin Cities

A strong area of high pressure is set to develop over the central U.S. Thursday, bringing Minnesota's next stretch of hot, dry weather.

The Twin Cities will feel some of that Thursday afternoon with plenty of sunshine and highs in the mid 80s.

Friday won't be much different aside from a few stray storms that may fire in northern Minnesota. The metro stays dry with highs a few degrees warmer in the mid-to-upper 80s.

As winds turn more southerly into the weekend, temperatures will jump even more. Highs will reach near 90 degrees Saturday and into the low 90s Sunday with lots of sun both days. With dew points in the 60s, it'll feel 5-10 degrees warmer than that.

Early next week looks to stay hot and dry, but winds pick up a little more as highs stay close to 90.
