If it didn’t feel summery enough for you the past couple of days, you’ll probably appreciate the return of warmer temps and higher dew points this afternoon.

Saturday afternoon highs will be in the upper 80s across western Minnesota and parts of central Minnesota, as well as the Twin Cities metro area:
