Friday will be just slightly cooler behind the front with highs in the low 80s in southern Minnesota, but it will be noticeably less muggy. The day should be mostly dry, too.

Saturday looks to be warm again with highs near 80, but the next storm system will develop showers some time late Saturday or Sunday and into Monday. That system will bring more rainfall but also cooler temperatures that will finally be near normal. Highs will be just in the 60s to low 70s Sunday into Tuesday.
