Minnesota weather: Nice, sunny weekend ahead

MN Weather: Prime leaf peeping this weekend

We are slowly crawling out of our extreme drought as the rain continues this fall. A high temperature of 60 is expected Thursday. Expect some spotty showers Thursday night as the clouds roll away, with some fog and high temperatures in the mid 40s. This weekend is the prime time to do some leaf peeping as storms next week will blow all the leaves away.
