Morning showers, mostly dry and warm weekend

Here’s your Saturday morning forecast for October 19, 2024 from Minnesota’s Weather Authority and Meteorologist Wren Clair.

Your Saturday morning features scattered light rain showers. The best chance for trace amount of moisture up to a few hundredths of an inch of rain will be early this morning. By mid-morning we’re just looking at the slight chance for a few sprinkles.

Patchy fog is in the forecast early this morning across western, and especially northwestern Minnesota.

While we’re waking up to mostly cloudy skies, you’ll still have a mostly dry Saturday with a good bit of sunshine. Cloud cover decreases west to east today, with partly sunny skies this afternoon. High temperatures today are back in the low-70s.

Sunday’s high temperatures flirt with record highs, as highs top off in the low-80s. The record high for October 20th for the Twin Cities is 83° in 1953.

Enjoy your weekend forecast and be careful with any outdoor burning, as our fire risk remains high this weekend.

Have a wonderful day!
