Record Highs Possible Across Southern Minnesota This Week
This has been a weird winter. First warm with no snow. Then a little snow and artic air. Then a warmup with temps returning to an above-normal perch. Now it’s time to break some records.
Over the past week our warmer than average temperatures returned, but this week we’re aiming even higher, with a few high temperature records on the line. The average high for southern Minnesota in January is in the mid 20s.
This week we’ll remain well above normal and will near record levels for much of this week. Thaw’t you’d like that.
Not only do those high temps look warm for this week, but look to remain there or even warmer into the middle of February, which begins Thursday.
