Minneapolis, MN – A shift in Minnesota’s winter weather begins Wednesday, with a mix of light snow and rising temperatures forecasted for the week. Residents should prepare for slick roads Thursday into Friday morning as snow accumulations, though minimal, could impact travel.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will start with mostly sunny skies and a high near 17°F, with winds calming by evening. Snow chances increase Thursday evening into Friday morning, with accumulations expected to remain under an inch. Temperatures will peak at 28°F on Thursday before cooling slightly by the weekend.
Travelers along I-94 and local roadways should exercise caution, especially during Thursday night’s snowfall. Wind speeds remain manageable, averaging 5–10 mph throughout the week, but snow could reduce visibility. Friday’s high reaches 26°F with partly cloudy conditions.
Heading into the weekend, Saturday promises clearer skies and a high near 24°F, providing a break from the wintery mix. Sunday, however, brings another 20% chance of snow with highs in the low 20s, followed by a mostly sunny Monday.
Stay informed about changing conditions by checking local forecasts daily. Winter driving precautions, such as maintaining a safe following distance and keeping an emergency kit in vehicles, are highly recommended.
