Sunny skies and seasonal temperatures will be over the region this weekend.

Heat peaks on the 4th of July with highs in the 90s for most, before a cold front brings in evening t-storms into Saturday.

Bring plenty of water if you plan to be outdoors, and keep an eye on the radar.

As we gear up for this weekend, we look for our second real round of heat this year. Unlike May's dry heat however, this time humidity will be in the picture. For Friday night into Saturday, we are on the watch for strong to severe storms to move through areas of North Dakota and north central Minnesota.

Chances of showers and storms end the weekend and kick off early next week.

If you are heading out early Friday for any weekend plans, a few showers may interrupt plans, but they won't last long. Sunshine is expected for many by Friday afternoon, making it a nice start to the weekend. But a cold front will move in from the northwest, bringing a line of storms as it moves through.

The warm weather is back in the region and just in time to kick off the month of June. Saturday ends the month of May on a mostly sunny note, although chances of showers are possible throughout Minnesota during the afternoon. We will also be looking at areas of smoke possible this weekend. Smoke moves in from Canada and affect areas of Minnesota and North Dakota.

A few areas may get some light rain through the weekend, but overall we are tracking a seasonable stretch for the holiday weekend.
