Spectacular Friday; mixed weekend ahead

A few scattered weekend thunderstorms possible

We’re looking at another summer weekend in Minnesota.

We’ll enjoy a mixed bag of weather in the next few days. But Friday looks downright spectacular across most of Minnesota with plenty of sunshine and lower humidity. Highs Friday afternoon will reach the lower 80s in southern Minnesota, with 70s up north.

We’ll see a mix of sun and thunder chances this upcoming weekend, but no all-weekend washout.

We’ve already recorded five days of 90-degree heat in the Twin Cities this year. Next week looks cooler with highs mostly in the 70s across Minnesota.
