Minneapolis, MN – A 60 degree afternoon will soon give way to freezing mornings as colder November air sweeps across the Twin Cities.
Temperatures could plunge 35 degrees between Tuesday's afternoon high and Thursday night's low, bringing a sharp seasonal reversal.
The biggest concern isn't snow accumulation. It's the arrival of colder temperatures following a brief chance of rain.
According to the National Weather Service Twin Cities office, Minneapolis will reach approximately 60 degrees Tuesday before temperatures fall later this week.
The changing pattern affects Minneapolis, St. Paul, Hennepin County, Ramsey County and surrounding communities across the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
Rain Chances Arrive Before Temperatures Drop Tuesday, November 10, brings increasing clouds and afternoon temperatures reaching approximately 60 degrees.
Southwest winds remain light, around 5 mph, providing relatively comfortable conditions for outdoor activities.
However, clouds increase Tuesday evening as another weather system approaches Minnesota.
A 30% chance of rain develops mainly between midnight and 3 a.m. Wednesday, with temperatures falling toward 41 degrees.
Drivers traveling Interstate 94, Interstate 35W or Interstate 494 could encounter wet pavement if showers develop.
The more noticeable change arrives Wednesday, November 11, when afternoon temperatures struggle to reach 49 degrees.
North winds increase to 5 15 mph, making Veterans Day noticeably cooler than Tuesday.
Skies gradually clear, but the colder air continues settling across the region.
Thursday and Friday Bring Freezing Temperatures By Wednesday night, Minneapolis temperatures fall toward 30 degrees, marking the beginning of several freezing mornings.
Thursday, November 12, brings mostly sunny skies, but afternoon temperatures reach only 40 degrees.
North winds continue at 5 10 mph, adding a brisk November feel.
Thursday night temperatures could fall to 25 degrees, a 35 degree difference from Tuesday's high.
Residents should protect temperature sensitive plants, disconnect exposed garden hoses and prepare warmer clothing.
Friday, November 13, remains sunny but chilly, with temperatures reaching approximately 39 degrees.
Friday night brings another freezing low near 26 degrees.
Could Roads Become Slippery? Although freezing temperatures are expected, the supplied Minneapolis outlook does not predict snow accumulation through Saturday.
Rain is most likely early Wednesday, before temperatures fall below freezing later that evening.
That timing reduces the immediate risk of widespread flash freezing.
However, drivers should remain cautious around bridges, shaded pavement and locations where moisture persists.
Any lingering water could freeze once pavement temperatures fall sufficiently.
No specific ice accumulation or winter storm warning is identified in the supplied outlook.
