MN Weather: Warm And Humid

MINNESOTA — Expect hot and humid weather in Minnesota this week. "In addition to warmer temperatures later this week, southerly winds originating from the Gulf of Mexico will bring dew points into the lower 60s," says the National Weather Service.

"This will make it 'feel' more like summer, especially considering how dry we've been this spring."
