Updated 9:30 am

Wednesday was another warm and unsettled day. Look for highs in the mid to upper 80s with a sticky dew point. Cloudy thunderstorms will develop again in the afternoon into the evening in some areas.

hot, humid; more chances of thunderstorms later in the day

Rinse and repeat these next few days. Partly cloudy skies will warm things back up to near 90 for much of southern Minnesota Wednesday afternoon. Northern Minnesota will be well into the 80s with cooler readings, mostly in the 70s near the North Shore of Lake Superior.

The combination of very warm temperatures and sticky dew points in the 60s will lead to atmospheric destabilization each afternoon and evening.

Severe storms develop again Wednesday afternoon into overnight mainly to the west and north with more isolated chances to the east, including the Twin Cities area.

An almost identical scenario will play out each of the next few days through the weekend with isolated thunderstorm chances in the afternoon and evening. Minnesota remains steamy with highs near 90 in the south and west and 80s in the north.

Highs on Thursday and Friday were only in the low 90s for the Twin Cities, so we could be in record territory with warm nights as well. These readings were above normal for early June.
