Highs reach into the 70s Wednesday in Twin Cities; rain chance overnight

The Twin Cities are enjoying a big warm-up Wednesday, with temperatures feeling more like May than March.

Highs will jump into the upper 60s and lower 70s across the metro, with filtered sunshine.

Wednesday evening will be very pleasant, though a cold front approaches — bringing a chance of rain overnight into Thursday.  

There could be a few snowflakes mixing in Thursday on the northern edge, but nothing will accumulate. Thursday will also be a transition day as cooler air filters in. Highs will be in the 40s to the north and the 50s in the metro.

Friday will be the coolest day of the week, with highs only reaching the upper 30s and lower 40s.

We'll warm back up over the weekend, with highs hitting the 60s again by Sunday. The mild weather will continue into next week before a more active, wetter pattern returns.
