South winds and sunny skies helped to set a temperature record in the Twin Cities on Friday.
The daily high temperature was 72 degrees at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. That broke the old record of 71, set in 1990.
That was also the warmest temperature so late in the season in records dating to 1872, according to the Minnesota State Climatology Office.
The average high temperature for Nov. 14 is 43, 29 degrees below Friday’s record.
A weak cold front is expected to return Twin Cities temperatures closer to normal for the next few days. Still, the autumn of 2025 is likely to rank in the top 10 warmest on record.
St. Cloud also matched its previous high temperature record (set in 1990) with a Friday maximum of 68.
This autumn has also continued to see little precipitation, with nearly 63% of the state experiencing abnormally dry or drought conditions.
