Regional weather view.

A very quiet week in the Upper Midwest as a high pressure system takes control of the weather, there will be very little chances for rain. Temperatures will start off near seasonable but they will increase a the week goes on and it likely turning hot by mid week, but not nearly as hot as least weeks extreme heat wave.

Local and metro views.

Locally it we are staring right into a very dry and very warm week ahead. Unfortunately there is no rain in sight at this time as a large area of high pressure will give us at least 5 days or so of sunny weather. We can expect everyday to have sunshine and near seasonable temperatures with starting off in the low to mid 80s and lows in the mid 60s on Tuesday and Wednesday, then Thursday we will go back into kind of a hot spell, although not nearly as hot as last week heat wave it is likely temperatures will rise to the middle to upper 80s, with some 90s appearing in inner city Rochester and hot spots. Lows will be in the middle to upper 60s. It look like after we enter this hot spell to remain very warm to hot through next weekend.

Monday, Sunny and warm. Light winds with highs in the lower to middle 80s. Monday Night, Clear skies lows in the lower to middle 60s.

Looking Ahead

Looking into the weekend  Saturday and Sunday look dry and partly cloudy and very warm to hot temps. Highs will probably be close to 90.

It turns drier and hot again by Wednesday the 18th and remains fairly dry and hot through Monday the 23rd of July.
