.DISCUSSION...
Mainly dry weather is expected over the next 7, with the only
chances for rain coming in the form of scattered light rain
showers Monday over far southern MN and Thursday across western
MN. Highs through Thursday will remain in the 60s, which will
help keep minimum RH values well above critical values. For the
end of the week into next weekend, we`ll see highs return to the
70s, but southeasterly winds will also bring in an uptick in low
level moisture, which will continue to keep RH values above 40%.
Winds will be easterly through Wednesday, then turn southeast for
Thursday through the weekend, but speeds will generally remain
below 15mph.
