Temperatures are expected to jump back into the 50’s this week, with our strange winter on track to break even more record highs. In case you’re wondering just how unusual these temperatures are, the answer is “very”.
“We’re really about 20-25 degrees above normal,” says National Weather Service Meteorologist Brennan Dettmann.
He says starting mid-week the high temps will be in the 50s with the possilibity of more records falling in the Twin Cities. The record Monday is 51 which is close to where the high should land.
“Normal for this time of year is right around 25 degrees, mid-20 s with normal low temperatures being around 10 degrees,” says Dettmann.
WCCO Chief Meteorologist Paul Douglas says records could easily fall on Tuesday and Wednesday.
“Sunshine, the record tomorrow is 51 and we should be easily breaking that, low 50s tomorrow,” Douglas predicts. “Low to mid-50s on Wednesday with a little bit of light rain shower activity. Again, it’s going to feel like April. The record Wednesday is 53, and that is in danger and I think we’ll break the record on Thursday which is 50 degrees in the metro.”
