Welcome to the unofficial last holiday weekend of summer in Minnesota. How did that happen exactly?
This weekend brings a typical mix of sun and rain. Saturday looks glorious. A few scattered thunderstorms will roam Minnesota Sunday and Labor Day. But we'll enjoy many dry hours too in between storms. Highs in the 70s will be more common as we head into September.
Have a great holiday weekend!
