A sunny Saturday is on tap for our first November weekend. The sunshine will eventually give way to clouds, and the forecast shows several chances for rain ahead.

Warm Saturday with sunshine

November is one of the cloudiest months in Minnesota, so any glimpse of sunshine is definitely appreciated. Saturday will feature sunny skies with above-average temperatures. High temperatures will reach the mid to upper 50s, while northern areas can expect cooler readings in the 40s along with some filtered sunshine.

Beneficial rain on the way

Halloween brought much-needed relief from our drought, with some areas receiving over one to two inches of precipitation. Rainfall amounts through early next week show areas picking up between 0.5 and 1.5 inches of rain.
