Get ready for another free ride on the famed Minnesota weather roller coaster. This one starts with a springy Wednesday ahead.

High temperatures Thursday will be notably cooler than our springy Wednesday.

Friday brings sunnier skies with cooler temperatures to the region.

Nice last weekend in March
The last weekend in March looks ready to go out like a lamb. We’ll enjoy plenty of sunshine. Highs will run in the 40s north to 50s south Saturday. Sunday will be the milder day this weekend as 60s return to the south.

Stay tuned.
