MINNESOTA, USA — Temperatures will be trending well above average over the next couple of days with temperatures hitting the low to mid 80s around the Twin Cities under blue skies. Dew points will be trending in the low to mid 50s, so it will be a relatively comfortable weekend as well.
Here's a closer look at your Saturday with temperatures starting out in the upper 50s along with a light north breeze while the mercury climbs to the mid 80s under sunny skies.
Nearly everyone will end up in the 80s over the weekend with a few 70s dotting the North Country.
The heat will continue to build in from the west on Sunday; cooler temperatures will be found around Lake Superior.
A cold front sliding across the region early Tuesday will give us a significant cool down for the start of October. Even with a strong cold front next week, the weather pattern is expected to remain dry leading to the driest September in the Twin Cities on record.
