A system will brush southern Minnesota with a few showers Thursday. Temperatures will be back well into the 50s and 60s. Warmer temps are ahead for Saturday.

Showers for far southern Minnesota

There will be a little less sunshine Thursday for the southern half of Minnesota as a storm system to our south grazes the southern part of the state. Northern Minnesota will continue to be fairly bright.
