Twin Cities NWS graphical forecasts show highs in the low 70s Saturday.
There's a little something for everybody in the weekend forecast.
Some much needed rainfall will continue to move northward through the region tonight. An arc of rainfall spinning around an upper level low pressure system will rotate through central Minnesota Friday evening. Through 3pm .35" rainfall has fallen at Twin Cities Airport. It looks like showers will favor areas north of the metro to near St. Cloud this evening, with spotty and occasional bouts of rain in the metro.

Saturday: Look for a mix of clouds and sun as the low pulls out of the area. The afternoon will be milder with a nice westerly breeze and highs in the lower 70s.
Sunday: A mild start to the day is on tap. Temperatures may peak in the metro around midday, and then a strong cool front will plow southeastward and reach the metro in the afternoon. By late Sunday you'll notice a brisk northwest wind as our first real cold front of fall blows in. Temperatures will be much cooler Monday, with highs in the 50s and 60 statewide.
Right now the best time for outdoor activities looks like Saturday afternoon, evening and Sunday morning.
Enjoy the weekend!
