🌞 Sunshine and hotter temperatures return Friday and Saturday. Highs will be near 90 degrees.
☔ We’ll have a chance for some isolated to spotty storms for northern Minnesota Saturday afternoon into the evening. Some storms could drift south overnight Saturday into early Sunday.
🌦️ A better chance of more widespread, scattered showers and thunderstorms develops for Monday. That will also set the stage for a much cooler and cloudier pattern overall next week. Highs will be mostly in the 70s.
