Pleasant weather prevails for Thursday with lighter winds, dry skies, and abundant sunshine.

Thursday’s forecast

After a very windy Wednesday, the most noticeable change in Thursday’s weather is much lighter winds.  Most of the wind through the day will stay under 10 mph, and a few parts of central and northern Minnesota are even starting the day with calm winds.

Plentiful sunshine will help the temperatures rise, although a couple more clouds will move into northern Minnesota late, ahead of light rain chances Friday.  That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
