A widespread freeze is possible Saturday morning across northern Wisconsin and the Twin Cities region as cooler-than-average fall weather moves into the central and northern United States. Rain chances are rising in Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kansas. Southeast Nebraska and northeast Kansas could see isolated severe storms focused on large hail and damaging winds, with a limited tornado risk in northeast Kansas. A stronger system is expected to bring rain and gusty winds to parts of Pennsylvania late Thursday and Friday, then possible rain or snow showers and near-freezing temperatures Saturday. San Antonio is set to remain hot through Thursday before a Friday cold front arrives with gusty winds and a sharp cooldown. Warmer weather is forecast to return to Minnesota early next week.

The northwest winds on Friday are going to make it feel like winter already hit.
