MINNESOTA, USA — Rain chances have exited the state and you can expect brighter conditions the rest of the day.
It's still windy and the wind will stay strong at least through Saturday. Highs today will stay in the lower 40s in northwest Minnesota with low to mid-50s around the metro.
The wind ramps up a bit Friday afternoon. We'll start out with sunshine, with fair-weather cumulus clouds filtering in through the afternoon.
For what it's worth, today is the 16th day this month winds have gusted over 30 mph. April is statistically our windiest month of the year.
Temps bottom out Friday, with morning frosts possible both Saturday and Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon looks less windy, and warmer, with highs near 60. Temps should stay in the lower 60s heading into next week as shower chances return on Monday.
