More quiet fall weather Wednesday in Twin Cities; rain on deck early Thursday

Aside from perhaps a little more sunshine later, Wednesday is going to look and feel a lot like Tuesday in the Twin Cities.

Expect a mix of clouds and sun with highs near 60 degrees in the afternoon.

Showers are possible in the metro Thursday morning through the overnight hours, with a period of steady rain between the afternoon and evening. The metro can expect around a quarter inch, with less up north. Southern and southeastern Minnesota, however, could see a half inch or more.  

Winds will pick up through Thursday evening with gusts of up to 35 mph, driving in more cool air for Friday. Some showers are possible in the Arrowhead early Friday with the potential for a few flakes to mix in.

Friday will be windy and cold with highs near 50 degrees and gusts exceeding 30 mph.

Saturday morning will be chilly, possibly bringing the metro its first freeze of the season. Lows will be in the mid 30s with lots of sunshine, which will help push temps into the low 60s by the afternoon.

It will be a bit breezy this weekend with gusts near 30 mph. Dry and late-summer temps are expected through at least midweek. 

Highs look to rebound into the upper 60s and near 70, with morning lows in the 40s.
