If it didn’t feel summery enough for you the past couple of days, you’ll probably appreciate the return of warmer temps and higher dew points this afternoon.

Saturday afternoon highs will be in the upper 80s across western Minnesota and parts of central Minnesota, as well as the Twin Cities metro area:

A stray 90 is possible in western Minnesota. Lower and middle 80s are expected in southeastern and northeastern Minnesota.

Dew points will range from lower 60s in western Minnesota to mid and upper 50s in the northeast:

Most of Minnesota and western Wisconsin will be rain-free during the daylight hours today. A few scattered showers are possible in western and northern Minnesota late Saturday evening.

You can hear updated weather information for Minnesota and western Wisconsin on the Minnesota Public Radio News 

, and you can see updated weather info on the MPR News 

A new Updraft will be posted around 10:20 a.m. today, and it will include details on the potential for thunderstorms in parts of Minnesota and western Wisconsin Sunday afternoon and evening. We’ll also take a look at the week ahead.
