Not as cool for Saturday night with low temperatures in the metro dropping to the mid-50s. Temperatures will be in the upper 40s to low 50s across the state tonight, which is warmer compared to Friday night. 

High pressure will slide southeast on Sunday, bringing warmer, summer-like temperatures to the forecast area. Sunday will feature plenty of sunshine and winds increasing out of the south-southwest 5-15 mph. High temperatures warm into the upper 70s to low 80s. 

Mild forecast; little to no precipitation chances

Look for little to no change in the forecast for the upcoming work week. High pressure will continue to bring sunshine, and above average temperatures. Our afternoon high temperatures are expected to push well into the mid-80s, with some 90s returning to southwestern Minnesota and the Minnesota river valley by Wednesday. 

Unlike previous months, where we typically would see an increase in our dew points, there will be little change in the moisture level from current values. Dewpoints will remain in the 50s, possibly some low 60s for the forecast area. 

Our 6-10 day, and 8-14 day temperature trend outlook from the Climate Prediction Center shows our above average temperature trend continue though at least the middle of September.
