MINNEAPOLIS, MN – A significant change in Minnesota's weather is approaching as a mild Halloween weekend gives way to a soaking rain system Monday and Tuesday, with some areas potentially receiving up to 3 inches of rainfall.
According to the National Weather Service Twin Cities office, scattered showers Saturday morning will gradually diminish during the afternoon, leaving cloudy but relatively mild conditions for Halloween activities.
Halloween Weather Remains Mild Saturday, Oct. 31, will bring afternoon temperatures between 55 and 62 degrees across the region.
Rain chances during trick or treating hours generally remain low, with temperatures around 56 to 60 degrees in the Twin Cities before gradually cooling overnight.
Sunday, Nov. 1, looks even more favorable for outdoor activities, with partly sunny skies and highs ranging from 62 to 66 degrees.
Dry conditions are expected throughout Sunday before the next weather system approaches.
Monday Brings Widespread Rain and Possible Thunder The forecast changes Monday, Nov. 2, as a larger storm system moves into Minnesota.
Temperatures will range from 56 to 64 degrees, with periods of rain developing and a few rumbles of thunder possible.
Rainfall is expected to become more widespread Monday into Tuesday, potentially affecting morning and evening commutes.
Up to 3 Inches Possible by Tuesday The National Weather Service indicates that rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are possible across portions of the forecast area through Tuesday.
Tuesday temperatures are expected to range from 52 to 64 degrees, with continued rain chances and overnight lows dropping into the upper 30s and mid 40s.
Wet pavement, reduced visibility and standing water in poorly drained areas could create travel concerns where heavier rain develops.
Despite the approaching system, forecasters indicate that a significant winter weather pattern is not expected immediately.
Residents should monitor updated forecasts as the timing and placement of heavier rainfall become clearer.
