Slightly cooler, but still seasonable Wednesday

Northern Minnesota could see a few sprinkles

Temperatures Wednesday are noticeably cooler, but with less wind and widespread sunshine, it will still be a pleasant fall day.

Wednesday’s forecast

Despite a cold front that moved through Minnesota late Tuesday, morning temperatures are slightly above average Wednesday with mostly 40s north and 50s south. 

The cooler air behind the front will drop afternoon highs about 10 degrees from the warm weather on Tuesday, but temperatures ranging from 50s north to 70s south are at or above average for Oct. 7.

Most of the state sees sunny skies and lighter winds Wednesday. The one exception is northern Minnesota, where a disturbance that clips near the border brings breezier conditions, a few more clouds, and a very light rain chance.

The rest of the week also stays mostly dry and temperatures warm again. That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
