Showers Thursday in Twin Cities to reinforce autumn chill

After the coolest morning the Twin Cities has experienced since May 25, clouds return on Thursday afternoon, preventing any chance for an increase in warmth.

Expect afternoon highs in the low 60s with another round of rain spilling in from northwest to southeast — arriving in the metro between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.

These showers wrap up for most by dawn, but they will make for a colder day Friday with highs struggling to hit 60 degrees, along with more breezy winds.

If temps don't make it out of the 50s, Friday would be the coolest September day since 2022. The coolest high on record for Sept. 5 is 57 degrees, set in 1873.

Some models indicate a few spotty sprinkles again on Friday, but it wouldn't be impactful if they come to fruition.

High pressure moves in just in time for the weekend, bringing more in the way of sunshine and allowing temps to slowly rebound.

Expect highs in the low 60s on Saturday and mid 60s on Sunday with skies turning mostly sunny.

Aside from another shower chance on Monday night and Tuesday morning, next week looks quiet with highs back in the 70s.
