Too Nice? Red Flag Warning

* Today: 11th dry day in a row in the Twin Cities.
* 70 a real possibility across the area later today, again Friday.
* Slight chance of an isolated shower or T-shower Thursday PM over far western MN, most of the rain should hold off until Saturday night and Sunday.
* Cold enough aloft for a few flurries Sunday night? Right now no accumulation is expected close to home.
* Rapid warming returns next week, more 60s by midweek.
* Another chance of (more significant) rain toward the end of next week.
