Beautiful Wednesday in Twin Cities to start dry stretch

MINNEAPOLIS — A really nice Wednesday in the works with high pressure and a gentle wind coming in out of the east.

Expect plenty of sunshine and temperatures fighting to break into the 80s.

A wind shift will allow for more of a southerly wind helping us warm up on Thursday and Friday and eventually taking our temperatures to the upper 80s or maybe even 90 by the weekend.

We should remain dry for the rest of the week, with an increase in humidity as the temperatures build.

It looks like we're good for the Aquatennial stretch, but there's a chance for storms to return near the end of the weekend and the start of next week.

More Canadian wildfire smoke to pour into Minnesota
