 After the heat, humidity, and storms of recent days, today is a drier, cooler day across Minnesota. Highs statewide are in the 70s with a chance for spotty showers in the afternoon. Dry conditions and a gradual warm-up are expected later in the week. It's the halfway point of meteorological summer, and NPR meteorologist Sven Sundgaard says the second half of the season may be very different from the first. Most models agree on normal, maybe even slightly above normal temperatures the rest of summer.
