Beautiful Friday ahead; free AC this weekend
Friday looks like one of the best weather days of the year in Minnesota. The back side of a departing high pressure zone brings plenty of sunshine and a moderate east breeze. Comfortable dew points in the 50s provide free AC. Abundant sunshine will make this first day of June one to remember.
Friday is like a tale of two forecasts across Minnesota. Summery highs in the 80s rule south and west. Chilly breezes off a still frigid Lake Superior make it feel like early spring in northeast Minnesota.
