Minneapolis, Minnesota – Minnesota will see a picture-perfect Wednesday with sunshine and highs near 77°, setting the stage for summer’s last holiday weekend. Residents should enjoy calm conditions during the day, but keep watch for a slight chance of thunderstorms after sunset.
According to the National Weather Service in Chanhassen, light southwest winds will hold steady at 5 to 10 mph. The evening brings a 20 percent chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms before midnight, followed by partly cloudy skies and lows near 58°. Commuters along Interstate 35 and I-94 should use caution if storms develop, as wet pavement could briefly impact travel Wednesday night.
Thursday returns to mostly sunny conditions, with highs near 72° and east winds under 10 mph. By Friday, the Twin Cities will see more of the same — highs near 72° with mild southeast winds. Friday night turns mostly cloudy before sunshine returns for Saturday, bringing another comfortable high near 72°.
This steady stretch of mild days and cool nights sets up ideal conditions for the Labor Day holiday. The weekend forecast calls for partly sunny skies Saturday and Sunday, both topping out near 75°. Labor Day itself is expected to bring more sunshine and highs in the mid-70s — a near-perfect close to August.
