🔮Looking out to NEXT week -> we may have our first preview of late fall/early winter temps. Weather models are hinting at a blast of cold air by Friday. It's a ways out, but confidence is growing. Will that stick for Halloween? We shall see... @WCCO #mnwx #wiwx pic.twitter.com/5FihPCMRwL

The wind will bring in warmer air Friday, boosting the daytime highs back to the 60s. Weather models are even pushing for mid-to-upper 60s.
A swift and weak system moves through Friday, increasing wind speeds. Some showers will move into the Arrowhead late Friday into Friday evening. Saturday will also be impacted by the back edge of this system.
Expect temps to drop to the 50s for the weekend with a breezy northwest wind Saturday.
Temps will be near or above average to start next week, but there are signs of a cool down near the end of the month.
