It’s that time of year Twin Cities.
Our lingering summery weather pattern has finally given way to more typical fall-like temperatures. And that means chances for frost for southern Minnesota and the Twin Cities.
The coldest temperatures the next few days likely arrive on Saturday morning. The inner Twin Cities urban core inside the Interstate 494/Interstate 694 loop should hover at or above 40 degrees Saturday morning. But the suburbs and much of southern Minnesota will dip into the 30s.

Highs hover near 60 degrees in southern Minnesota Saturday afternoon. Sunday brings the start of milder temperatures. Highs will push back into the mid-60s in the Twin Cities by Sunday afternoon.
