Minnesota will see a high temperature spread of more than 30 degree due to this front.
Wednesday night into early Thursday will bring chilly temperatures to northeastern Minnesota with some places reaching frosty readings.
Warm, dry for most into the holiday weekend
Temperatures climb back to well above normal readings Thursday into the weekend and next week as our upper-level ridge remains in place.
That upper-level ridge will keep most precipitation to the west with a few showers breaking through into far western and northwestern Minnesota by Sunday or Monday.
Most models hint at us reaching 90 degrees in portions of southern and western Minnesota by the middle of next week as that upper-level ridge persists.
