Minnesota weather: Here's your Memorial Day weekend forecast

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Memorial Day holiday weekend is going to stray away from being a hot one, but our weather will stay comfortable for Minnesota.

Most of Minnesota will feature high temperatures in the 60s (especially the northern half of Minnesota). The Twin Cities will have a chance of a few lower 70s, but far from hot. The pattern recently has been wet, and while there aren't any washouts in the weekend forecast, there will be a few chances for showers here and there. These may show up as a few interruptions leaving most of the daylight hours dry.

After early rain and storms on Friday, another round will pass through parts of the state and into Wisconsin midday and into the afternoon.

In terms of wind over the weekend, expect a blustery close to Friday as gusty west and northwest winds blow. Saturday will feature a breeze out of the south and southwest. Winds switch to the east and northeast for Sunday.

The unsettled May pattern continues, leading to frequent changes in the timing and placement of showers and thunderstorms. Check for changes in your forecast with the FOX 9 Weather App this weekend. Download it here.
