CWG Live updates: Heat ramps up this week, while rain is more scarce
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: We awaken to chilly upper 40s and 50s before sunshine boosts afternoon highs into the low to mid-70s. What's next? Lots of sunshine and steady warming. Highs near 80 Tuesday, 85 Wednesday and near 90 by Thursday and Friday. Today's daily digit — 9/10: Tough to beat the refreshing start and sunny 70s in the afternoon. But still, some lingering haze from wildfire smoke. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Monday): It's another unseasonably chilly start — more like October than June with temperatures in the 40s and 50s. But sunshine boosts highs to 70 to 75 degrees this afternoon, with perhaps a thin veil of haze from wildfire smoke. Winds are light from the west. Confidence: Medium-High 😎 Nice Day! Tonight: Skies are mostly clear, and it's crisp and cool. Lows slip to the mid- to upper 50s downtown with upper 40s and low 50s in our cooler areas. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow (Tuesday): This is a great-looking early summer day. Sunshine lifts afternoon highs into the upper 70s and low 80s. Breezes are hardly noticeable. A lone wrinkle is the possibility of some haze from intruding wildfire smoke. Confidence: Medium-High 😎 Nice Day! Tomorrow night: Mostly clear and a little less cool than previous nights. Lows settle in the 50s to near 60 downtown. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead It feels unmistakably like summer Wednesday through Friday. The high temperature each day soars into the upper 80s to near 90, and humidity starts to become noticeable as well (dew points climb through the 60s). Overnight lows are mostly in the 60s except closer to 70 by early Friday. It's mostly dry with partly cloudy skies although we can't totally rule out a shower or storm late Thursday or Friday as humidity increases. Confidence: Medium-High Warm weather hangs around for the weekend, with highs near 90 Saturday and 80 to 85 Sunday. Saturday offers a chance of showers and storms as a cool front comes through. Sunday has a better chance to stay dry and is probably less humid after morning lows in the 60s.

How Minnesotans are reacting to the air quality alert affecting the state
All of Minnesota is under an air quality alert through Monday evening, which is when the heaviest haze could set in. Gary Rother noticed the poor air quality while he was setting up the beach volleyball courts Sunday at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis. "At times it gets really smoky, and at times it's not as bad," he said. Some of the players told WCCO they noticed some haze in the air, even if it wasn't enough to make anyone stop playing. Rother felt it the worst while mowing his lawn this weekend. "You feel like something is in your throat," he said. "It's a little like you're ready to hack something out." The National Weather Service says the air quality alert that goes through Monday is a result of smoke from wildfires in Canada. "It can be hazardous to your health, especially people who are especially sensitive to things like that: people with asthma, elderly, children," said Melissa Dye, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. While driving, recirculating the air in the car can help. If spending time outside, Dye says a well-fitting N95 mask is recommended, along with taking breaks inside. Dye says she has no reason to think this summer won't be like recent summers with frequent haze and air quality alerts.
