A few patches of fog will clear mid-morning as the sun rises. Visibility remains close to a quarter mile in parts of central Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin. As the sun rises the unseasonable warm weather continues this afternoon with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. Tonight will be cool and clear providing another opportunity to spot the Northern Lights across the region.
Dry weather continues through Monday ahead of the incoming cold front. We will see a few evening showers at the start of next week as temperatures start to drop into the upper 50s and low 60s for the start of October.
