Some rare November sunshine is on tap for our Friday. Temperatures continue to trend above our seasonal average with highs in the 50s expected. Our next weather system will bring some intermittent, light rain showers for the weekend. 

Temperatures warm into the low to mid-50s across the southern half of the state, while northern Minnesota will experience upper 40s, about 10 degrees above the average.

Friday will bring plenty of rare November sunshine, before a weekend system starts pushing clouds in from the south. Saturday and Sunday are expected to be mostly cloudy, though skies will begin to clear late Sunday night.

Our next low-pressure system has already caused disruptions in the Rockies, bringing over 2 feet of snow to the mountain ranges.

Our environment remains warm enough for an all-rain event, with rainfall totals expected to be minimal, ranging from a tenth to a quarter of an inch.

The system approaches southern Minnesota early Saturday morning, and will be exiting the Upper Midwest by noon on Sunday. 

On Saturday, temperatures will range from the upper 40s to lower 50s, with mostly cloudy skies and sporadic rain showers.
