Temperatures start to warm up Thursday into next week. If you’re looking for rain for any lawns or new gardens, it will be spotty and light.

Temperatures trend upward with little precipitation ahead

We start to warm up a bit Thursday after a couple of very chilly and frosty days. Look for a mix of clouds and sunshine with highs in the low 60s across central Minnesota. Lingering chill will keep highs just in the 40s in the Arrowhead.

Temperatures Friday will be even warmer, near 70 degrees across southern Minnesota. Those readings are actually a few degrees above normal for a nice change.
