If you're looking for a classic Minnesota summer evening, Saturday night may be hard to beat, so gather around the fire and get those s'mores ready.

Summer doesn't often give us evenings like this. One of my favorite summertime activities is sitting around a bonfire, and tonight's weather looks nearly perfect for it.

After a breezy and cool Saturday, winds will gradually diminish this evening as high pressure settles across the Upper Midwest. Combined with clearing skies and comfortable temperatures, conditions are shaping up for an excellent night outdoors.

Overnight lows will fall into the 40s across northern Minnesota and the 50s farther south, bringing a refreshing feel that's more reminiscent of late summer or even early fall than mid-June. The cooler air, low humidity, and lighter winds should make for ideal conditions to enjoy a backyard bonfire or simply leave the windows open and enjoy the fresh air overnight.

Adding to the good news, recent rainfall has kept our fire danger low across much of Minnesota.

Sunday will bring another pleasant day with plenty of sunshine and seasonably cool temperatures, although northwest winds will become a bit breezy again during the afternoon.

Bonfire weather is on the menu tonight, so don't forget the marshmallows!
