Beautiful Week of Weather Ahead for Central Minnesota

After a bit of a cool and frosty stretch, we're in for a spectacular week of early October weather across Central Minnesota.

Fall is my favorite time of the year, but I never wish summer away (because I know what comes after fall). I'm not a winter-hater, it's just a bit too long for my liking. Take a month off winter and add it on to my summer, and Minnesota's seasons would be perfect for me.

Central Minnesota morning low temperatures will generally be in the forties when you wake up this week. Things look even warmer for this coming weekend.
