NEXT Weather: Cooler Friday, with spotty afternoon showers
MINNEAPOLIS -- Dew points will come down slightly Friday, but we don't reach the comfy weather until the weekend.
Friday's highs will be in the mid 80s. The ridge that is the driver of the intense heat and humidity we've been dealing with is scheduled to break down and shift southwest by the weekend. A cooler air mass fills in from the north.

Some spotty showers may pass over the Twin Cities Friday afternoon, and there is also chance for a few isolated storms to develop late Friday into Saturday.
Weather for the Minnesota State Fair's first weekend looks much more palatable, with highs around 80 on Saturday and Sunday, along with partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will stay similar into next week.
