However, winds will gust up to 30 to 35 mph, according to Meteorologist Mike Augustyniak, meaning that it will be choppy on some of the lakes.

Temperature will then cool off a bit into Monday, when the state could see a round of widespread rain, with a potential of three-quarters of an inch to an inch-and-a-half of accumulation in the afternoon and evening hours.

After that, temperatures will cool down to the 60s.

A 4-year-old girl in Mankato died on Friday morning, when a tree branch fell on the tent she was sleeping in.
