The warm and windy conditions expected this weekend could lead to fire concerns, particularly on Saturday when wind gusts may reach 35-45 mph. Residents in southern Minnesota and northern Iowa should also be aware of the potential for isolated showers or thunderstorms Thursday night into Friday. The cold front arriving Sunday night will bring a sharp temperature drop, with highs only reaching the 50s °F (10-15 °C) by Monday, accompanied by scattered showers and breezy northwest winds.
