This week has brought spring and summer vibes to the Twin Cities. With sunny skies and highs in the 80s, this weather has energized and inspired us. Unfortunately, the summery feeling won’t last long, as temperatures are expected to dip back down to the 40s and 50s next week. So, let’s build a playlist that encourages us to take advantage of the weather this week. What music motivates you to get out, take a walk, and soak up the sun? For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs about getting outside do you want to hear?
