Labor Day will be mostly sunny and pleasant in Minnesota, but an impending cold front will give us a preview of fall by midweek.

Highs in the Twin Cities on Monday will approach 80. A stray storm is possible in far western Minnesota, but otherwise, the forecast looks quiet.

There is an increased chance of seeing the Northern Lights, especially between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., but cloudy skies could hamper efforts to see them.

Isolated storms are possible Monday night and Tuesday morning, with the best storm chance happening Tuesday afternoon and evening. There is a marginal risk for severe weather in western Minnesota and part of the Twin Cities, mainly due to straight-line winds.

Temperatures will top out in the upper 70s on Tuesday with increased humidity before a cooldown on Wednesday, when it'll turn cloudy and much cooler, with highs in the 60s. Lingering showers are possible.

Thursday will start out chilly, with overnight temperatures in the 30s and 40s. Daytime highs will be right around 60. There's a chance for rain in the afternoon.

Over the weekend, we'll dry out and temperatures will rebound into the upper 60s.
