Much warmer and more sunny condtions moving in. Setting up to be a fairly nice weekend!

Regional Weather View.

A dry pattern is for once setting up across the Upper Midwest for the next few days which will feature much warmer sunny conditions for the entire area. There will not be much for precip happening, accept a chance of thunderstorms returning on Saturday to parts of Iowa, and Sunday to other parts of the region.

Local View.

Locally we can expect much nicer weather ahead for the next few days, which will be good for people who really need to mow lawn. Most people will most certainly notice the sun shining on Friday, and as a result, we will have much warmer conditions as well. Highs will reach the upper 70s for highs, and mid 50s for lows. Saturday also looks nice, It will dry with partly cloudy skies, winds will be light, and temperatures will reach the low 80s and lows near 60.F. Sunday will probably be the cloudiest day of them all and the day with the best chance for rain, it will be partly cloudy to partly sunny, but even with the cloud cover it will easily reach the mid 70s for highs. Lows will remain in the mid 60s. There will be an increasing chance for Thunderstorms as the evening approaches from a warm front that will be moving into the area. I think the storms will wait until nightfall.

Friday, Nice! Much warmer. Sunny skies with highs in the upper 70s. Friday Night, Clear Skies, lows in the mid 50s

Saturday, Partly Cloudy light winds, highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Saturday Night, Partly Cloudy, lows in the upper 50s

Sunday, Partly Cloudy to Partly Sunny, highs in the mid to upper 70s. Sunday Night, A chance of thunderstorms, lows in the mid 60s.

Looking Ahead

Monday looks like the chance for thunderstorms will continue as the leading edge of a much warmer and more humid airmass overtakes the area, some of these could become severe. The 28th through the 30th of the month is the start of a dry and warm period and, before a warm front passes by around the 1st of July and spreads at first thunderstorms, then much hotter conditions for as we head into July. The models have been consistent at a possibly long lasting heat wave lasting through the 4th of July,But this could change. The weather for the weekend after the 4th of July looks like increasing storms and very warm and humid.
