Sunny, quiet Friday after our lively Thursday

Skies will begin to clear Thursday night as a front pushes through the area and brings drier air and more sunshine for Friday. Patchy fog will develop early Friday morning.

Sunshine returns through the day Friday with temperatures remaining well above average, reaching the low-80s for highs. Winds will remain light.

The week will end on a quiet note that will continue into the start of the weekend. A few, brief showers and thunderstorms will roll through southeast Minnesota late Saturday afternoon to early evening.

The chance of showers continues Sunday into Monday, but the details on that wave of low pressure are still a bit murky as to timing and placement. Temperatures will take a dip later this weekend and look to remain in the 60s for highs both Sunday and Monday. More seasonable fall temperatures continue through next week.
