As we head into the weekend for Friday, for most of the region we are tracking cloudy skies, and the chance for a few flurries and light snow, especially around the northern portions of the Northland. It will look to be off and on through the day, but a few flakes will also linger into the evening, and temperature will get a bit colder heading into the weekend.
By Saturday afternoon, most of the flakes will have moved on off to northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, however a few may linger around eastern North Dakota by the early afternoon.

Saturday will continue to have winds blowing on in out of the northwest. For much of the region, it will be a blustery afternoon with winds around 10-20 mph, and a few stronger gusts likely for eastern Minnesota.
Temperatures will still be cooler than Friday, but not as bitterly cold as much of the Northland had for last weekend. The coldest temperatures will come with highs in the teens for much of North Dakota, with the rest of the Northland staying in the 20s as the flakes taper off.
Sunday will see abundant sunshine for much of the region, and even though temperatures for most will drop into the single digits overnight, we are looking at a milder day to wrap up the weekend, with only a few clouds passing by.
However, winds will still be a little blustery, even as the direction will gradually shift to being out of the southwest. Gusts may not be as strong as we see earlier in the weekend, but sustained winds will still get up to around 10-20 mph for most of the area.
With that southwest breeze for Sunday, what we do get is we start to see temperatures warming up a little. Highs get back up into the 20s for much of the region, even as a few clouds linger around North Dakota and northern Minnesota, and where we see a bit more sun to the south, highs climb into the 30s for much of South Dakota. Heading into the week, the warm-up will continue for much of the region, as temperatures look to remain milder through the end of the month.
