MN weather: Blustery and cooler weekend

The weekend will be windy and cooler. Saturday winds could gust at 35 mph+ for parts of Minnesota, with highs in the mid-40s. Temperatures cool for Sunday with wind chills likely staying in the teens for most of the day.

Strong northwest winds will be the dominant weather factor this weekend. 

On Saturday, sustained wind will be in the teens and 20s with gusts at 35+ mph for parts of Minnesota. This northwest breeze will draw in cooler air, leading to fairly steady temperatures on Saturday with a high of around 45 degrees in the Twin Cities metro area. 

Temperatures cool down overnight with lows in the 20s and remain chilly for Sunday with highs in the 30s. However, wind chills will likely stay in the teens for a big chunk of St. Patrick’s Day.
