March heat wave continues to shatter records

It's crazy. But it keeps happening. Insanely warm March weather broke records again this weekend. The Twin Cities had the earliest-ever 80-degree reading. Even the nation's icebox - International Falls - turned in a steamy 77 degrees, breaking the previous record for the date by 22 degrees. Duluth, Fargo, Rochester, St. Cloud, and Winona all set records, as well. Some much needed rain is expected late Sunday through Wednesday, with temperatures cooling down in the 60s for most of the work week.

According to the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities, parts of Minnesota will get a taste of May weather this week. Some clouds and light rain will linger Monday before a stretch of record high temperatures in the 60s and 70s moves in for the rest of the work week. That's about 30 degrees above normal.

Steamy weather is back in the headlines as temperatures are expected to approach triple digits again this week. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for central and southern Minnesota on Monday. That's when afternoon heat indices are expected to hit the 95 to 105 degree range across much of the state.

The National Weather Service says we will continue to enjoy unseasonable warm temperatures for the next few days. A chance of rain and thunderstorms moves in Sunday night through Wednesday.

A heat advisory is in effect until 9 p.m. Monday for most of Minnesota. The National Weather Service says Monday afternoon high temperatures are expected to exceed triple digits.

According to the National Weather Service, some light snow will fall across portions of Minnesota Monday afternoon. A warm front will then move across the state, with plenty of sunshine and very warm temperatures on Tuesday. A few 60s are not out of the question for far southern Minnesota by Tuesday afternoon.

More winter-like temperatures are arriving, after a weekend that felt downright spring-like. Fargo and Grand Forks both surpassed 50 to break long-standing record highs.
