A good chance for a run at the reord maximum in the Twin Cities today as we are on the warm side of a developing weather system. If we top out greater than 74 we will break the record set in 1978.

Computer models continue to play out the development of a strengthening weather system in the upper Midwest this week. Milder air, with increasing moisture, will mix with colder air on Wednesday. By the end of the work week, the feel of the atmosphere will be much different than we are experiencing today.
