Minneapolis, Minnesota – Milder temperatures settling into the Twin Cities this weekend may bring a light wintry mix to major roadways early next week, according to the National Weather Service.
According to the National Weather Service Twin Cities, warmer air is expected to arrive during the second half of the weekend and persist into the upcoming workweek. High temperatures are forecast to reach the 30s and 40s across central Minnesota, including the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro area, with overnight lows generally remaining in the 20s.
Saturday night is expected to remain partly cloudy, with light winds between 5 and 10 mph and low temperatures ranging from 15 to 20 degrees. On Sunday, skies will turn mostly cloudy, with highs climbing into the 30 to 40 degree range. Winds are expected to remain light, which may limit blowing snow concerns but could allow for patchy slick spots in shaded areas.
The primary impact window begins Monday, when a chance of rain and snow is forecast across central Minnesota. The National Weather Service notes that highs on Monday may range from 35 to near 50 degrees, with lows falling into the 20s to 30s. While no significant accumulation has been confirmed, even light precipitation could affect travel along major corridors such as Interstate 94, Interstate 35W, and Interstate 494 during overnight and early morning hours.
Officials have not issued any formal advisories at this time, but drivers are urged to remain aware of changing road conditions, particularly during Monday night into Tuesday.
The warming trend may be notable for commuters, students, and early-morning workers, as fluctuating temperatures could lead to refreezing on untreated roads and bridges.
The National Weather Service emphasized that forecast details may change and residents should continue monitoring updates as the week begins.
