Low pressure over northeast Montana will start lifting a warm front northeast towards the region today. The warmer air lifting over cooler air will cause enough lift to produce some clouds that will move over the region at times today. There's even a small chance for a shower or t-storms, mainly north of I-90. I think most spots will stay dry today with highs in the mid 70s. It will turn breezy with south winds increasing to 10-20 mph, with gusts to 30 mph possible in the open areas of SE Minnesota and NE Iowa.
Tonight will be partly cloudy and mild with morning lows in the 50s. South winds will continue tonight around 10-15 mph.
The warm front will lift northeast across the region Friday. This, along with breezy south winds, will cause temps to really warm up with highs well into the 80s for Friday and Saturday. It will also get a bit more humid with dew points rising into the upper 50s to perhaps low 60s. Most areas will stay dry Friday and most of Saturday as the rain chances lift north of the region with the warm front. A cool front will then bump into the warm and fairly humid air mass, bringing a pretty good chance of showers and t-storms Saturday night and Sunday.
Looking Ahead... The cool front will knock highs back into the 70s Sunday through Tuesday, but the models are then advertising temps warming back into the low-mid 80s next Wednesday and Thursday. With the warmer air will come at least a slight chance of showers and t-storms later Wednesday through Friday.
