One more dry day in the 60s before cooldown, rain
Wednesday will be another day with highs in the 60s, but a cooldown begins on Thursday.
Joseph Dames joined the WCCO team during the winter of 2022. He is currently the weekend morning meteorologist. You can also catch him putting together weather, science, and other environmental stories during the week.
Born and raised in Illinois, just outside of Chicago, Joseph grew up in the small community of Plainfield. Plainfield is notorious for the 1990 F5 tornado, which started Joseph's interest in weather. Joseph stayed in the state of Illinois for his education and attended Eastern Illinois University with a concentration in broadcast meteorology.
Joseph spent seven years covering wildfires, ice storms, and atmospheric rivers in Portland, Oregon. As a fan of snow, he is excited to trade those in for winter forecasting.
You better believe he has a love for Chicago sports and, of course, that deep dish pizza. In his down time, Joseph spends his days and nights hitting the outdoors, enjoying live music, and trying all the different restaurants around the area.
Feel free to send in weather questions, photos, or weather and environmental story ideas to Joseph.

A very mild morning will lead to another warm day in the Twin Cities, while other parts of Minnesota are still dealing with fire weather concerns.
The Twin Cities will likely see record warmth Monday, while southwestern Minnesota will deal with fire weather concerns.
High temperatures struggle to reach the low 40s with overnight lows Friday night back into the mid-20s.

Highs will climb into the 50s in the Twin Cities on Wednesday, though it will be windy and cloudy at times, too.
Monday's going to be much cooler than Sunday, but highs will still be above average.
A wind shift will invite a warm southerly wind in, and there will be more sunshine with some clouds Thursday morning.
If you're heading out Wednesday morning, it's best to bundle up. But another warmup is on the way.
After the warmest February afternoon on record Monday, the forecast is heading in the opposite direction Tuesday.
MSP Airport registered 50 degrees Thursday afternoon, making this the seventh 50-degree day this month, thus breaking February's heat record.
The forecast high in the Twin Cities is 50 degrees amid a large ridge sequencing that will cause states to the south to break into the 60s and 70s.
Twin Cities residents can look forward to sunshine and highs in the 40s on Tuesday, and the next few days will look very similar.
Another week of above average temperatures will kick off on Monday.
With the latest snowfall across parts of Minnesota during the latter part of Wednesday and into the overnight hours, we've now officially moved up a notch from our previous position of being on track for the least-snowy winter on the record books.
