Regional Weather View.

Warmer air will surge in from the west starting Friday. Most of the Midwest will enjoy sunshine and much warmer temperatures. Saturday is when this little warm up will peak, middle 50s is possible as far north as Southern Minnesota. A weak cool front will slide through the region on Sunday which could spark a few showers mainly across the north. Otherwise sunny weather will break out again starting next week.

Local View.

Locally we can expect a couple of nice days to shape up for this weekend! Both Friday and Saturday will feature sunshine with highs in the lower to mid 50s, Which is well above normal. A couple place may even reach near 60 on Saturday! Lows will be in the middle to upper 30s. The only small downside will be it will be a bit breezy. Sunday will be a cloudier day, and with a weak cool front pulling through there may be a light shower or two. But no one should get excited for any significant rainfall becuase it is likely going to be only small amounts and not everyone will see rain. With the clouds highs will be in the upper 40s Sunday with lows in the mid 30s. Monday skies will clear out behind this front, and highs will still even be fairly mild in the upper 40s. Lows will be in the mid 30s.

Looking Ahead

Tuesday, a strong cold front will bring highs down to where there supposed to be for middle November. Unfortunaity this front looks to pass through dry. Temperatures stay fair and it continues to be dry through the middle of next week, and even towards the weekend it remains dry. Saturday the 19th warms up briefly then a strong cold front looks to bring a chance of light showers turning to flurries. Then a much stronger system drags up warm and and lots of rain showers for Monday the 21st, and then it drys out for Thanksgiving Weekend. Afterwards remains on the fair side for temps with another chance for rainfall on the 26th. The long range models have been very un reliable this fall and change daily. Check back for updates.
