Warm windy Friday with showers, cooler air this weekend

We’ve had a stretch of sunny days with light winds. We’ll begin to see a few changes Friday, including an increase in winds.

Look for south/southeast winds to blow at 10 to 20 mph with 15 to 30 mph winds in western Minnesota. We’ll also see a few more clouds, especially west. It will still be warm, with highs in the 70s for much of the state.

A pair of upper-level lows will keep a lot of cloud cover around the region Sunday into much of next week and also bring the chance of fairly spotty, hit-and-miss showers. Unfortunately, the rainfall doesn’t look significant.
