Minneapolis, Minnesota – Sunshine returns to Minneapolis just in time for the weekend, but not before Thursday morning’s wet weather brings slick roads and damp commutes.
According to the National Weather Service in Chanhassen, Thursday’s strong storms will give way to lingering sprinkles Friday, mainly before noon. Rain chances will taper off by afternoon as clouds break and highs reach 55°F. Drivers along I-94 and other major corridors should remain alert for wet pavement and reduced visibility through early Thursday.
Saturday brings a major shift. Expect full sunshine and calm winds, with temperatures rising to 69°F — ideal for outdoor plans or yardwork. That warm trend continues Sunday, with a forecast high of 78°F and only light breezes from the south.
Looking ahead to early next week, conditions remain favorable with mostly clear skies and seasonally warm temperatures. Monday and Tuesday may see slight chances of showers — 20% each day — but overall, the spring pattern holds steady.
🌤️ Minneapolis 5-Day Spring Outlook:
- Friday: Chance of sprinkles, high 55°F
- Saturday: Sunny, high 69°F
- Sunday: Sunny and warmer, high 78°F
