Unseasonably cool start to Thursday across Minnesota<\/strong><\/p>\n Thursday morning<\/strong> began on a chilly note<\/strong> across much of Minnesota<\/strong>, with some locations tying record low temperatures<\/strong> for mid-July<\/strong>. While skies remain mostly dry<\/strong>, the air is noticeably crisp<\/strong> and seasonably cool<\/strong> for this time of year, with temperatures starting the day in the upper 40s to low 50s\u00b0F<\/strong> (around 8\u201312\u00b0C<\/strong>). This rare July cooldown<\/strong> offers a brief break from the usual warmth<\/strong> of summer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rain returns Friday with thunder chances by evening<\/strong><\/p>\n By late Friday<\/strong>, expect moisture<\/strong> to return to Minnesota<\/strong>, as showers<\/strong> develop in the afternoon and evening hours. While the rain is not expected to be widespread or continuous, localized downpours<\/strong> could pop up, especially in the southern half<\/strong> of the state. Thunderstorms<\/strong> are also possible, particularly late Friday night<\/strong>, though severe weather risk<\/strong> remains low at this time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The weekend looks fair and seasonable<\/strong><\/p>\n The outlook for the weekend<\/strong> remains pleasant<\/strong> and relatively stable<\/strong>, with seasonal temperatures<\/strong> in the upper 70s to low 80s\u00b0F<\/strong> (25\u201328\u00b0C<\/strong>) expected.
