Get out the bikes, golf clubs, or sneakers for some beautiful outdoor weather this holiday weekend. We’ll enjoy our share of sunshine and comfortable outdoor temperatures. Our long ramp into the weekend on this lovely Thursday transitions to some frost across most of northeast Minnesota Thursday night into Friday morning. We’ll only drop to around 44 degrees in the Twin Cities but upper 20s and low 30s across northeast Minnesota.

There are signs this could be a hotter than normal summer across Minnesota. A basket full of NOAA outlooks favor warmer than normal temperatures this meteorological summer (June, July, August) across most of the U.S. and North America. NOAA’s official temperature outlook for summer shows the highest probability of warmer than normal temperatures across the western and northeast U.S. The precipitation outlook for summer slightly favors drier than normal weather across our region.

Our soggy rainmaker this week has dumped 2 to nearly 4 inches of rain from the Twin Cities to points west and south this week. That’s almost a month’s worth of rain in a couple days for some areas. You can see the prolific rainfall totals on the map at the top of this post around the greater Twin Cities area.
