Warm weather could break record on Wednesday

The late summer-like weather on Wednesday, November 2, could set a record for the date, with a high of 76 degrees possible in the Twin Cities metro. FOX 9's Cody Matz looks at how unusual this is.

Overnight Wednesday, lows will drop to about 58 degrees – which is about 10 degrees above our average high for this time of year.

Thursday will be a bit cooler with more cloud cover, but still will see warmer-than-seasonable highs of around 69 degrees for the Twin Cities metro. Showers will start to develop after sunset thanks to a cold front moving across the state.

More seasonable weather is expected to end the work week, with highs in the mid to upper 40s for the Twin Cities. This weekend, rain showers are possible on Saturday, but the sun will return for Sunday.
