Thursday night brings good sleeping weather to all of Minnesota. Lows will fall into the 50s south and 40s north. There may even be a few colder nooks and crannies up north like Embarrass and Tower that dip into the upper 30s early Friday morning.
Highs Friday and this weekend will recover back into the 70s south with 60s north.
Gradually drying out
