The state sees another warm but windy day Tuesday, with light rain in northern Minnesota.
Tuesday’s forecast
Minnesota is starting off seasonable again, ranging from morning lows in the upper 30s north to the low 50s south Tuesday morning.
Gusty winds out of the west and southwest will bring high temperatures back above average, with 60s north, 70s for central and most of southern Minnesota, and a few 80s possible southwest.

However, the combination of warm weather, winds that will gust 30 to 40 mph, and recent dry conditions are creating an elevated fire risk for portions of southern and western Minnesota.
The high winds are caused in part by a cold front that starts moving into northern Minnesota by afternoon and clears south through the entire state by late Tuesday.
That front brings spotty rain chances and a few more clouds across northern Minnesota Tuesday, while the rest of the state sees more sunshine.
Cooler weather returns Wednesday behind the front, then temperatures rebound again late in the week.
That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
