Minneapolis, Minnesota – Gusty winds and scattered sprinkles could make driving tricky across Minneapolis Sunday evening, especially on I-35W and I-94. Road spray and reduced visibility may affect the late-night commute, and drivers are urged to use caution on wet pavement.
According to the National Weather Service in Chanhassen, northwest winds will blow 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph through Sunday night. Skies will gradually clear overnight, with lows dropping near 49 degrees. Commuters should prepare for a cool and breezy Monday morning.
Sunshine returns Monday with highs near 70 degrees, though northwest winds of 5 to 10 mph will keep conditions crisp. By Tuesday, temperatures rebound to the low 70s under clear skies, offering a stretch of calm, dry weather. Outdoor activities, roadwork projects, and air travel should benefit from stable conditions midweek.
The warmest day of the upcoming week arrives Wednesday, with highs climbing to 76 degrees. Winds ease to a light south flow, making for ideal late-summer weather. Forecasters expect the dry stretch to continue through Saturday, keeping conditions favorable for farmers, sports, and state fair crowds.
Residents are advised to monitor conditions Sunday night for brief slick spots and to secure outdoor items as winds pick up. The Twin Cities will then enjoy several days of sunshine with no major weather threats expected through the workweek.
