Minneapolis, MN – Bitter cold will grip Minnesota tonight as temperatures drop to single digits, but relief is on the way. Residents can expect a chilly Saturday with highs near 20°F, followed by a gradual warmup early next week.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), skies will remain mostly cloudy on Saturday, with calm winds shifting southeast later in the day. Saturday night will see lows near 16°F. By Sunday, sunnier skies will help push temperatures higher, with a daytime high of 31°F expected across much of the Twin Cities area.
As the week progresses, conditions will improve. Monday brings partly sunny skies and highs nearing 29°F, a stark contrast to the frigid start to the weekend. By Tuesday, temperatures could climb to 33°F, giving Minnesota residents a welcome break from the cold. Overnight lows throughout the weekend and into midweek will hover in the teens to low 20s.
The shift to milder weather is expected to make driving easier for those traveling along major routes like I-94, where icy patches may still linger from recent snowfall. While the warming trend is good news, forecasters advise caution, as icy sidewalks and roadways remain a hazard overnight when temperatures dip below freezing.
Stay updated on the latest weather developments by monitoring local forecasts. With Christmas Day next week, early signs point to mostly cloudy skies and highs near 36°F.
