Cool front divides Minnesota Friday; storms possible

It’s still pretty muggy across southern Minnesota Friday as a slowly moving cool front continues to push south. 

Afternoon dew points will still be in the 60s to near 70 south while dew points will be in the 50s in northern Minnesota. By Saturday the dew points will be much more comfortable statewide.

High temperatures will still be in the upper 80s to near 90 south while just in the mid-70s across northern Minnesota Friday afternoon.

That front will be the focus for more potential thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evening.

There’s a severe risk with any storms that develop in southern Minnesota into Iowa and Wisconsin.

The weekend looks very nice with highs closer to normal, mainly in the low to mid-80s south and 70s north with much more comfortable air Saturday.

By the middle of next week, though, we could see high temperatures back near 90, so enjoy the break this weekend.
