You might need the heat in northern Minnesota overnight into Friday morning.

Temperatures will fall into the 40s across much of northern Minnesota by Friday morning. (See the image above.)

Milder air will work back into Minnesota this weekend. Highs will reach the 70s again on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The Canadian model loop below shows temperature warming gradually between Friday and Sunday afternoons. 

The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks this weekend. Earth passes through the debris stream of the comet 

. Thousands of tiny sand-sized debris will burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere and leave bright trails for the eye to see. 

The half moon will set in the west around midnight so that the best viewing may be around or after midnight away from city lights. Look northwest, but you could see meteors anywhere in the sky. 

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s medium-range outlooks favor warmer-than-normal temperatures again in eight to 14 days.
