Mini-dip in temperatures before an ideal weekend outlook

We are warmer — noticeably so — on Tuesday. A quick cooler and sunny trend is here towards the end of the workweek. We are much, much warmer for the coming weekend. Much of Minnesota will be totally dry for the next week or longer. There are some potent rainmakers next week that also deliver colder air.
