Following higher than average temperatures most of the week, cooler weather Friday brings the state closer to our March averages.
Friday’s weather
Behind a cold front that passed through Minnesota from Tuesday evening through the overnight, the state is off to a seasonably cold start Friday.
Morning lows are ranging from single digits north to 20s south.
Across much of the state, Friday also brings the coolest highs of the week, from 20s in the Arrowhead to 30s in other parts of northern Minnesota and 40s for the rest of the state.

For perspective, the average high in International Falls is 33 for March 12, putting Friday’s forecast high right about average. The Twin Cities average high this time of year is 39, so Friday will still be slightly above average, but not as mild as the rest of the week.
Other than a couple very isolated flurries in northern Minnesota during the morning hours, skies stay dry and sunny through the day, under the influence of high pressure.
By Saturday temperatures rebound again, and another rain and snow chance returns late in the weekend. That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
