NEXT Weather: Friday evening feels closer to February, but next week could see chance for 60°
MINNEAPOLIS — It will be cold going into Saturday but expect temps to rise as the weekend progresses.
High pressure helps winds turn back out of the southwest this weekend, with gusts up to 35 mph on Saturday. However, temperatures will warm into the mid-to upper-40s — maybe even the 50s — with a mix of sun and clouds.
Wind chills Saturday morning will be in the teens, but some could see single digits.
Good morning! We're starting the day around 30° again, however a cold front keeps us from warming much. That boundary across central MN right now is throwing some extra clouds our way, but notice there isn't much, if any, precipitation. pic.twitter.com/vFZxVncpAM

It'll be another fairly quiet and tame weekend.
A notably warm day is Monday when we will push 60 degrees with the help of sunshine and breezy southerly winds. The record for Feb. 26 is 64 degrees recorded in 1896.
WEATHER NEWS: How is Minnesota's unusually warm winter affecting the moose population?
The NEXT notable factor is a storm that brings more wind, showers and falling temps Tuesday, and eventually a brief return to more seasonable temps for Wednesday.
There are some hints of a little snow overnight into early Wednesday, but still a week away, so there is lots of time to iron out those shaky details.
Another significant warm-up appears to be lurking beyond that, so any snow won't stay on the ground long.
