If so, warmer (80's at some point) and probably dry through midweek with enhanced fire danger.Elevated fire danger in northern, western Minnesota as dry breezy conditions continue.Smoke could be around in flow from Canada.Cooler (highs in 70's), drier (comfortable humidity), breezy.Minnesota on the fringe of the low, so some isolated PM showers possible.Low pushing front through on Friday Night intensifies and stalls over Great Lakes.Smoke possible as air comes from central Prairie Provinces and sinks, could bring high smoke from Alberta and Saskatchewan fires to ground ( EPA North America Fire and Smoke map).

A better chance of scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms (50-50 shot, but they won't produce much) as upper level low in Prairie Provinces ( Mid-tropospheric water vapor loop from Colorado State satellite slider) moves to Wisconsin.

Lots of sun, still noticeable humidity, not as warm (near 80).

Saturday (best chance of scattered showers).

Some of the overnight storms to our west (see Shortwave Albedo loop from Colorado State satellite slider menu College of DuPage north central US radar loop) will have a shot, but storms will be scattered (40 percent shot).

An isolated shower possible as a cold front to the north (see latest NWS WPC North America zoom-in map) approaches (1 in 5 chance).
