Cool Saturday, warmer Sunday
Friday bursts of snow. Not the best way to finish our week!

One-half inch of snow was measured today at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Plymouth MN reported one inch. In Wright county, Monticello reported 2.4 inches.

Chilly start to weekend

We could see a passing shower late Saturday or Sunday. Highs on Sunday will be close to normal for this time of year at many locations:
A shot at 60s late next week
Temperatures dip below normal on Monday, and it will also be windy. Temps recover slightly on Tuesday, then warm back into the 50s over southern Minnesota on Wednesday. 60s seem like a real possibility next Thursday:
Forecast models keep the warm air over us into next weekend. That would be great!
