July preview: 80s through Friday, weekend rain chance
Welcome to July in May. The weather maps are bathed in red. Highs each the 80s across a good chunk of Minnesota Wednesday.
The mild summery air mass lingers this week. Highs in the 80s are common into Friday. A cool front arrives just in time for the weekend. I'm just the messenger.
Weekend rain chances
Saturday looks like the best chance for rain in the Twin Cities. Scattered storms will pop up along a front Friday in northern Minnesota. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Global Forecast System model gives us a reasonable estimation of the frontal zone Friday into Sunday.
