Disturbance brings clouds statewide and scattered showers north 

Areas of fog will linger Wednesday morning. Most of Minnesota will be mostly cloudy as a series of weak upper-level disturbances moves through the region. 

Afternoon highs will be in the 40s to the upper 30s in far northern Minnesota. Believe it or not, those readings are 4 to 10 degrees above normal. 

Northern and central Minnesota will see some scattered light rain showers Wednesday into Wednesday night. Showers could mix with snow in the Arrowhead overnight as temperatures cool off.

Thursday will be warmer with a mix of clouds and sunshine. Highs across southern Minnesota will be in the low 50s, more than 10 degrees above average. 

High pressure and slightly cooler air builds in for Friday, bringing a return to brighter skies. Seasonably mild temperatures are back for the weekend with highs in the low 50s for southern Minnesota Saturday and Sunday. All weekend should yield more sun than clouds, too.
