MN weather: Warm and breezy Friday, small rain chances later

Meteorologist Jared Piepenberg on this Friday morning off to a mild start and we're gonna have another warm one today and then one more for tomorrow and then things will get back to closer to average coming up here but a quiet morning for us. Thought we'd walk through futurecast. There's a small chance of some showers across western and central parts of the state throughout late morning into about mid afternoon or so. You can see here's 130 with futurecast. This does extend up to the north and east and it may drop a little bit farther toward the south. I would say there's a really small chance for a passing shower around the twin cities probably very late afternoon into very earlier parts of the evening kind of that that commute time there may just be enough to run the windshield wipers a couple times so that moves on by that's out of here your overnight hours are staying very very mild but a cold front will be sweeping across the state on saturday it starts in northwestern minnesota sliding out of the dakota some scattered showers along that boundary and that will slowly drop south and eastward throughout the day ahead of that front we're warm. We are breezy. We should still warm up into the 70s for southern Minnesota, including the Twin Cities into western Wisconsin. But again, similar time frame to the chance of small showers for today. It's going to be late afternoon, evening hours for the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota as we close out the day. It should be enough time that we warm up into those 70s, but then behind that, we are going to cool down. Then we're going to stay cooler through the extended. And cooler, it'll actually just be closer to average for us because we've been so far above that here recently. We hit 75 yesterday, have us going up to 74. Most are in the lower 70s here this afternoon. Keep in mind there's that small chance for a passing shower this late afternoon. I was thinking sometime maybe 4 or 5 p.m. for the Twin Cities. We could see that. It will be breezy today, especially in western parts of the state. Some gusts over 30 miles per hour. Not expecting those gusts for the Twin Cities. Now tonight, very, very warm. Average high temperatures are in the mid 50s with the breeze overnight tonight and the cloud cover. It should keep us close to 60 or even above, so a warm one for tomorrow. Similar high te front will pass on throug for some scattered showe can see the variety of te where Detroit Lakes DL st mid seventies down in sou ahead of that front and y color contour. So big shi to back 74 for today and breezy at that very small even in the metro here la hours. And then your sata part of the day is going to feature that chance of showers as that front moves on through. Behind that front, almost a 20 degree drop for us. 55 on Sunday. Our average high right now is 54. Average low is 38. So our mornings won't be as close to average next week. They'll still be cooler, but maybe not as chilly as it could be. Our daytime highs, though, look to hover mainly in the 50s. If we want to pick out a day that's maybe a little milder, kind of looks like Wednesday right now. It could peak really close to 60, but I do not see the 70s returning in the upcoming week.
