Click on this map to see the overnight low temperatures.

Have fun navigating to a location to find out how cool it got overnight.  I was curious about the impact of the urban heat island effect when I observed the International Airport had a low of 56 and St. Paul Homan Field had a minimum of 54.  Chaska had a low of 49 degrees.

Clearly the sunshine from Wednesday was absorbed and held in the downtown streets and buildings.

The coldest reading I could find this morning was 36 at Grand Marais and Cook.  It was 46 degrees as close as Lake Elmo.

Winds pick up for your Friday afternoon and a repeat is in store for Saturday.
