Minnesota weather: Cold and breezy Saturday with milder and sunny Sunday

The system that brought thunderstorms on Thursday along with the wind and rain yesterday is slowly moving away, but a chilly and blustery Saturday is still expected.

Big picture view:

Temperatures will stay well below average across the state today. Highs may linger in the 40s and lower 50s for most. 

A strong northwest breeze keeps us feeling chilly and will pull in more of the cold temperatures tonight. 

Much of the area may dip into the 30s with the metro closer to 40 or lower 40s. 

We climb back into the 60s tomorrow with sunshine and much lighter winds making for a pleasant close to the weekend.

What's next:

Another system will bring a chance of rain showers late Monday and last into Tuesday. 

This low pressure system may mainly bring rain to the southern part of the state. 

The trend after this shot at rain showers looks to be one of slowly warming temperatures both in overnight lows and daytime highs. 

We look to be back in the 70s next weekend.
