MN weather: Sunny stretch continues into the weekend

Hey everybody and happy Thursday. It's meteorologist Eric Marazic with the latest check of your forecast. It was a chilly day today and temperatures are going to stay cool. For the rest of this week, but we are not going to be stuck in the cool air for forever. Temperatures will be increasing to above average by next week. But right now, you have this wind coming in from the north, wrapping around the area of low pressure that's in Canada. So that is bringing in this chilly air that is below average, and it's also going to stay from that direction tomorrow. So another day with temperatures that are cool. It's dry across the area, so even though it's chilly, at least we don't have to worry about any snow. or any showers and it was also dry throughout today with a few clouds at times especially in the morning. Your high was 40 usually it's 44 this time of year your low was 34 usually it's in the 20s so the morning was actually a couple degrees above average but then the afternoon was a couple degrees below and then it's going to stay quite cool tonight into tomorrow. Across the state, mostly 30s and 40s from earlier today, and right now it's about 8 o'clock on your Thursday. It's 34 in the Twin Cities Metro, and then there are a lot of 20s beginning to pop up on this map. 23 over in Bemidji, 28 Detroit Lakes, 26 in Marshall. I do expect the Metro to reach the 20s tonight, so it's going to be some. Widespread cool air with this north wind throughout your overnight into Friday and also for Friday into Saturday. It's going to be quite chilly as well. So you want to wear the extra layer for the end of the week. Perhaps the thicker jacket. Make sure that the kiddos are dressed warm on the way to the bus stop. And it's just quick trip in the freezer because it is going to start to feel just a bit more mild once you get into next week with high temperatures that make their way back to the 40s and then eventually to the 50s after some overnight lows here in the 20s and outside of the metro, perhaps even some teens and then some highs in the 30s. So overnight tonight, 24 degrees. It'll be quite a crisp one out there. You have nice, bright, sunny skies tomorrow, so it's going to look nice, but it's going to Feel like cooler than average, struggling to make our way out of the upper 30s, not even reaching 40 tomorrow. And then during the evening, it's going to be below freezing at 29 to start the weekend. Overnight Friday into Saturday temperature about 24 degrees and then during Saturday it's going to be a nice bright sunny sky and then after that temperatures increase because your wind shifts to be from generally the south direction. So that means your high temperatures eventually get back to the 50s and you still have some bright sunny skies for most of the time. So it's pretty quiet with that increasing temperature trend. Hope you all have a great rest of your week.
