Temperatures continue to climb over the next few days with partly to mostly cloudy skies. Rain and storms chances return Thursday. Strong storms are possible Thursday evening south of M59.

Clouds stick around through much of the day but temperatures trend milder as the day goes on. After starting the morning in the low 30s, we've steadily warmed into the upper 40s and low 50s by the mid afternoon.

A noticeable warm-up continues Thursday, which looks to be the warmest day, climbing into the mid to upper 60s and a chance of showers and even a few thunderstorms. An isolated storm could be severe around and south of I94 late Thursday and through Thursday evening.

Cooler air quickly follows Friday, dropping highs back into the low 40s. Temperatures then rebound through the weekend, with highs in the upper 40s Saturday, mid 50s Sunday, and nearing 60 by Monday under a mix of clouds and some sunshine.
