A very beautiful week is expected next week as warm but dry air surges in from the west brining very mild and spring-like sunny weather. This warm up will come in quite fast as we could be enjoying highs as warm as near 60.F as early as Tuesday! Warm air will completely ingulf the Upper Midwest and remain that way through all of next week which means most days will be spent in the 50s. There is a chance of rain showers with a coo front on Friday, The weekend of the 10th looks dry and mild on Saturday before Sunday the 12th gets a bit more interesting, the model shows a chance for thunderstorms and heavy rain. It driest out with no cold air to be found behind that system. There could be another chance of rain on the 16th, then it looks like continue mild into the 17th. The looks to be a season changing pattern setting up, but only time will tell what our weather does after this warm up
