Minneapolis, MN — Crisp November air is giving way to a brief warmup across Minnesota, but colder weather is already waiting. Minneapolis could reach 58 degrees Monday before temperatures tumble toward the mid 30s by Wednesday night.
The 23 degree difference between Monday's afternoon high and Wednesday night's low signals a changing pattern heading toward mid November.
According to the National Weather Service, Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport reported 36 degrees early Saturday, with fair skies and southwest winds near 5 mph.
Saturday afternoon should reach 51 degrees under mostly sunny skies.
The relatively comfortable conditions offer residents an opportunity to finish yard cleanup, rake fallen leaves and prepare outdoor equipment for winter.
Sunday Monday: Temperatures Climb Toward 60 Degrees Sunday brings sunshine and temperatures near 53 degrees across Minneapolis and neighboring St. Paul.
West northwest winds of 5 to 10 mph should accompany the dry conditions.
Monday delivers the warmest afternoon of the period, with temperatures climbing toward 58 degrees.
Partly sunny skies and south winds of 5 to 10 mph could make the afternoon feel surprisingly mild for November.
Residents planning outdoor projects may want to take advantage of the warmer conditions before temperatures retreat.
Tuesday Wednesday: Colder Air Returns Tuesday remains mostly sunny, with temperatures near 53 degrees.
However, a noticeable cooldown arrives by Veterans Day.
Wednesday's afternoon high should reach only 49 degrees, followed by nighttime temperatures near 35 degrees.
That represents a 9 degree drop in daytime highs from Monday to Wednesday.
Drivers using I 94, I 35W and I 494 should remain aware of colder early morning conditions later in the week.
Although temperatures approach freezing, the supplied forecast does not indicate snow, freezing rain or widespread icy roads.
November Freeze and Snow: What Happens Next? The Weather Prediction Center continues monitoring weather systems across the northern United States.
However, its latest short range discussion does not identify a significant snowstorm affecting Minneapolis through Monday.
The local forecast also remains dry through Friday.
As Thanksgiving approaches, Minnesota residents should prepare for the possibility of colder conditions and eventual winter precipitation.
Wet roads can become slippery when temperatures fall below freezing, particularly on bridges and untreated surfaces. However, flash freezing is not specifically indicated in this forecast.
For now, the approaching cooldown is the main weather development.
