Sunny and 70s for #Top10WxDay on Sunday
MINNEAPOLIS — Sunday will be a sunny, warm #Top10WxDay.
The sunshine is back with calmer winds and slightly cooler highs in the mid-70s. This is the first #Top10WxDay of the year.
Communities in northwestern Minnesota should be mindful of a red flag warning. In Kittson, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake and Roseau counties, residents are advised not to burn from noon to 8 p.m. because of extreme fire risk conditions. Southwest Minnesota will be under a fire weather watch on Monday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Get out and enjoy it, because our next big storm will arrive Monday, with increasing clouds and spotty showers. The system will mainly affect areas north of Interstate 94 before arriving in the Twin Cities in the evening. Wind will pick up throughout the day, too.
Widespread rain and strong winds will be in place pretty much all day Tuesday. Some thunder is possible, and rain totals will likely be in the 1- to 2-inch range.
Some spotty rain will linger into Wednesday morning, but things will dry out after that.
By the end of the week, we'll be seeing much cooler temperatures.
