MN weather: Spotty afternoon showers Saturday, mild Sunday

Saturday begins on a sunny note before clouds increase with a chance of showers later in the day.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - It's a cool fall-feeling weekend with highs in the 70s returning for the work week.

Saturday forecast 

Local perspective:

We kick off the day on a sunny note, but clouds will increase, and with that, a chance of showers. 

Showers will mainly stay north of I-94, but the Twin Cities may have a few of these showers during the afternoon. 

Today won't be as windy as yesterday, but will still feature a little breeze out of the northwest.

Extended forecast 

What's next:

Sunday will be cold in the morning. 

Most of the area will start off the day in the lower 40s and some upper 30s. 

Things will warm into the mid-60s with plenty of sunshine and light winds making for a quiet close to the weekend. 

Temperatures are expected to be moderate during the work week with milder overnight lows and daytime highs back in the 70s. 

A chance of showers and a few rumbles returns later on Monday and into the evening.
