Cooler, more fall-like days ahead along with sunshine

We’ve been in a pretty dreary pattern lately with cloud cover definitely dominating peeks of sunshine. Finally, we should see abundant sunshine develop today and overall the next several days. Any morning cloud cover will clear out leaving just some high clouds today and brighter skies Friday and for the weekend.

Cooler, drier and much more seasonable air is also back today and sticking around a while. Afternoon highs today will range from the mid 60s south to the upper 50s north, much closer to normal and a full 10 to even 15 degrees cooler than yesterday’s late August-like temperatures.

Clear skies and cool, dry air will set us up for a chilly overnight. Overnight lows will be near freezing on the Iron Range with some spots slipping into the upper 20s. Farther south, we’ll see lows in the 40s and the Twin Cities may officially slip below 50-degrees at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

The weekend will be more of the same, overall. We can expect more in the way of seasonable temperatures with highs in the 60s and 50s with overnights in the 40s and 30s.

Clouds will increase Saturday as another cool front touches off perhaps a late day shower. Sunday will be mostly sunny.
