Gray weekend; sunnier and milder Monday

Timing is everything in life. And in weather.

Minnesota endures a mostly gray, partly drizzly weekend. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's North American Mesoscale Forecast System 3 km model depicts a possible break in the rain Saturday and another wave pushing in Sunday.

Brighter by Monday

The sun comes out of hiding again Monday. Milder breezes blow in temperatures in the upper 50s and possibly pushing 60-degrees in the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota Monday afternoon. Halloween now looks dry, but colder air arrives later next week.
