Another nice day in Twin Cities Tuesday; cooldown coming later this week
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota's stretch of nice weather continues Tuesday with warm temperatures and some wind.
Highs will top out around 80.
Clouds will increase Wednesday before the next chance for showers and storms arrives in the evening. Highs will be similar to Tuesday.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency issued an air quality alert for northwestern Minnesota from 5 p.m. on Wednesday until 11 a.m. on Thursday. The alert includes Bemidji, Moorhead, Leech Lake and Red Lake. The air quality is expected to reach the orange zone, which means it is unhealthy for sensitive groups.
A shot of cool air moves in by Friday, dropping highs to the 60s, about 10 to 15 degrees below average. There will be sunshine, though.
It will stay cool into the weekend, but temperatures will rebound to the 70s by next week.
