Friday brings less wind and milder temperatures after a crisp start to the day.
Friday’s forecast
Mostly clear skies overnight allowed temperatures to really drop by Friday morning, which is starting in the 30s across the Arrowhead. The rest of Minnesota is starting predominantly in the 40s, with a few 50s south. Under mostly sunny skies, temperatures warm almost to average highs Friday, with northern Minnesota in the 60s and the southern half of the state in the 70s. There will likely even be a couple 80s southwest.
Although sunshine prevails, a very minor disturbance will bring a few more clouds and possibly a couple sprinkles to central Minnesota during the afternoon hours.
The high winds of Thursday have died down significantly, but it will still be somewhat breezy Friday, especially in the Arrowhead where wind gusts will top 20 mph at times.
Saturday stays mild and mostly sunny until storms move in late. That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
