Sunshine this weekend, unseasonable warmth again next week

After a very mild start to fall, November is beginning to remind us that winter isn't too far away. We've been feeling a noticeable chill lately and our seasonably cool temperatures will stick around through the weekend. But let’s not get too comfortable with the cold because another warm-up is just around the corner.

Sunny, seasonal weekend

We're in store for another chilly night Friday with temperatures expected to drop into the teens and 20s by Saturday morning.

Saturday afternoon sunshine will help temperatures climb into the upper 30s and lower 40s. That's much closer to what we'd typically expect for mid-November.

Sunday will bring another day of sunshine, but it will also mark the beginning of a warming trend. As winds turn out of the south behind our high pressure system, temperatures will climb into the upper 40s.

The bigger weather story arrives early next week. Southerly winds and a change in the overall weather pattern will allow much warmer air to spread across the Upper Midwest. Highs will climb back into the 50s, with some areas potentially reaching the 60s.

Looking farther ahead, the weather pattern could become more active toward the end of next week into the weekend, potentially bringing better chances for widespread rain. It's still too early to pin down the details, so stay tuned!
