It’s a windows open forecast through at least Friday for Minnesota. 

A pleasantly cool and much drier air mass is blowing into Minnesota. You can see how far northerly Canadian breezes have pushed the hot sticky air mass southward away from Minnesota Wednesday afternoon. 

Thursday brings more abundant sunshine, and temperatures will rise into the pleasant 70s across most of Minnesota. 

Friday brings another beautiful Minnesota summer day, with just a slight chance of an isolated shower in the south. 

Right now forecast models favor a mostly sunny and warmish summery weekend. Highs likely return to the 80s this weekend across most of Minnesota.

Dew points remain at comfortable levels, with 50s to around 60 degrees in most areas.

Overall it looks like a fine run of weather through this upcoming weekend. A guilt-free forecast after Tuesday’s good soaking rains around much of Minnesota.
