Spotty storms Friday in Twin Cities before Mother's Day weekend warmup

MINNEAPOLIS — A partly sunny sky and southwest breeze, with gusts up to 30 mph, help get us to the 60s by Friday evening.

Clear skies and an impending severe geomagnetic storm will bring a good shot at seeing the northern lights overnight.

Saturday will be a #Top10WxDay featuring lots of sun, calmer winds and highs in the mid-70s.

Spotty showers, storms and breezy winds quickly return Sunday afternoon for Mother's Day, but the day won't be a washout. Temperatures warm even more with highs in the low 80s.

There's uncertainty about how next week plays out with rain, but it does look to stay mild and seasonable.
