It's a chilly but sunny start to the weekend in Minnesota, with temperatures on the rise for near record warmth next week.
Sunday is the first official day of fall and with it comes cooler temperatures for the next few days.
Sunday will bring a chance for isolated storms in the Twin Cities, and the next couple of days look to stay unsettled.
After a morning of isolated showers in the Twin Cities, the sun will make an appearance by midday Sunday.
After a weekend featuring the only two days so far this month with below-average highs, more unseasonable warmth returns this week.
Temperatures will technically cool down on Tuesday, but they'll still be well above average.
The Twin Cities is expected to get 2-3 inches total, while those up north will likely see little to no rain.
Road conditions are not ideal in southern parts of Minnesota Friday morning, and a number of schools were reporting delays or closings amid falling snow.
Friday will see warm temperatures in the upper 40s and near 50s, with lots of sunshine.
An even colder day is expected Saturday. We'll start in the single digits and only warm to the teens. It will feel below zero for many, with the wind staying strong.
Some morning showers will give way to a sun/cloud mix later Friday morning.
Friday is set to be pleasant, with sunshine all day, but dangerous heat returns for Father's Day.
