Southern Minnesota Bracing For Temps In The 50s (& 40s) After Seeing 70+ Yesterday
Like a cruel magic trick, it's back to reality here in Southern Minnesota. After seeing temps reaching into the 70s yesterday, the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities is reminding Minnesotans that we are heading back below normal for the foreseeable future with temps not expected to exceed the upper 50s for the next few days.
The Weather Channel's extended forecast shows the calendar turning to May, and the temps remaining below normal. Granted anything further out than 3 days seems to be a gamble with weather prediction, especially storms, the general consensus we are seeing is that we won't be breaking out the flip-flops and shorts through Cinco de Mayo.
One positive that is coming with these below-average temps is that there isn't any precipitation predicted until next weekend, so expect to see a little bit of a dry-out in the days ahead, welcome news for those producers in our area who are looking to get out and prepare to plant.
