Temperatures heat up Friday with only isolated rain chances ahead  

We have one more cooler day of temperatures when compared to the start of the week. Highs will be near 70 in the Twin Cities with mid-70s west and 60s northeast. Cooler temperatures will again be hugging the shores of Lake Superior.

Behind the front, it will only be a degree or two cooler Saturday. The pattern remains very dry overall until a potential shift in the upper-level flow late next week. 

Highs Sunday could break records in parts of the state. The record Sunday is 88 degrees in the Twin Cities and 90 degrees in St. Cloud.
