Weekend changes: Summery 70s Saturday, fall 50s Sunday

We have another unusually warm day ahead of us before a cold front brings some big changes to our weather. Temperatures will climb into the 70s again Saturday, but we’ll also have several chances for rain through the weekend. Not everyone will get wet, and this certainly won’t be a washout. Our best chance for widespread, measurable rain will arrive late Sunday night into Monday, along with much cooler temperatures. By early next week, highs will be back in the 50s.

Changes ahead after beautiful fall weather all week

It does not get any better than the weather we have had this week, with sunny skies and temperatures well above average all week. We will still have highs in the 70s tomorrow and Saturday, but some changes begin tomorrow with breezy winds and cloudy skies. We will then have a cold front move through this weekend which will drop temperatures back to around average on Sunday.

Meteorologist Shawn Cable's Friday Noon Weathercast

Rain and frost to be followed by a really nice weekend

10/14/2026: Meteorologist Shawn Cable has an update on Thursday rain and Friday night frost. The weekend will be sunny and warmer.

Some rain, a little frost, then a weekend warm-up

Fall feelin’ weather is here and we are looking forward to our next chance of rain late tonight through Thursday. Rainfall amounts of around a quarter inch or more will be possible with heavier amounts south and lighter amounts north. After the rain, we will dry out and temperatures will drop. In fact, we could see our first frost of the season Friday night into Saturday morning. After that, temperatures will climb again, setting us up for a fantastic fall weekend. The mild, dry weather will continue well into next week.

Coldest weather in months headed our way soon

Next week is likely to be windy and warmer, all followed by some solid continental lows. Those large storm systems often mean big swings in our temperatures and wind directions, plus they can rip down fall color from trees. Big drop already underway. All of the cloud cover is a...

Rain Thursday, frost Saturday AM... Otherwise, a nice fall week ahead

What a difference a couple of days can make! After a weekend of record warmth, temperatures are finally back to where they should be for the middle of October. We’ll enjoy seasonably cool and comfortable weather through Wednesday before our next chance of rain arrives Thursday. That system is looking a little more promising for far southern Minnesota and northern Iowa, with some locations potentially picking up a quarter to a half inch of rain. However, the bigger story may be our first frost of the season Friday night into Saturday morning. After we hit rock bottom, temperatures will climb with highs back into the 60s on Saturday and Sunday into early next week.

Temps to drop after today; rain chances & frost possible this week

Unseasonably warm temperatures will linger into the start of this week today before cooler temperatures return to the area with chances of rain and frost possible later this week. Today will be our last summerlike day with highs in the mid-80s and some minor humidity mixed in across the area....

Big temperature gradient across Minnesota Sunday and Monday

A slow-moving cold front will dictate which areas remain well above normal on Monday.
