Our cool breezes may send you searching for the jacket you stuffed into the back of the closet two months ago. Temperatures dive into the 40s up north and 50s in southern Minnesota overnight.

Don't be shocked if Embarrass, Minn., comes in at 39 degrees Friday morning.

Edge of drought

A few scattered rain showers are possible Sunday. But overall the next week looks fairly dry. Parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin have seen less than 2 inches of rain in the past month.
