Fall arrives Tuesday in the Twin Cities with chilly night to follow

Fall arrives Tuesday in the Twin Cities, with the autumnal equinox hitting at 7:05 p.m. Before that, expect more sunshine with highs in the mid-to-upper 60s.

Tuesday will also feature the chilliest night of the week with lows set to dip into the 40s in the metro and the 30s further north.

Clouds build Wednesday, which will be a nice day in the metro with sharp winds at times and milder evening temperatures. Showers and a few storms may develop in western Minnesota in the evening hours and linger through early Thursday before the system gradually falls apart. 

Friday is the equilux, when the metro will essentially see 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. The day will be mostly quiet with another shower chance Saturday and again early next week. 

Highs will warm into the low 70s for the weekend.
