The only notable issue will be wildfire smoke impacting air quality, with an alert in effect in northern Minnesota through noon on Monday.

The sunny, mild weather will carry over into Monday and Tuesday.

There are a couple of chances for rain to return this week, but things look mostly quiet. 

It's going to be warm for the kickoff to the Minnesota State Fair on Thursday, with highs in the 80s. Temperatures could climb even higher for the fair's first weekend.
