The weekend will start cool before a warm-up that will continue the trend of above normal temperatures.

Parts of the Lakes Region could see some light rain today as part of a system moving through the region over the next two days. High temperatures will be in the 50s through the weekend. The low Saturday into Sunday will get below freezing but no other days of below freezing temperatures are in the forecast.

Highs will push back into the 60s even approaching 70 during the first full week of 2026.
