Minnesota, Twin Cities – An unseasonably warm Tuesday is expected to bring record-high temperatures to the Twin Cities, reaching up to 80 degrees. However, residents should prepare for significant weather changes later in the week as rain, and possibly snow, are forecasted to follow the warmth.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service Twin Cities, temperatures will begin to drop by Wednesday, with highs ranging from 50 to 75 degrees. A system moving through the area could bring rain and thunderstorms during the day, with a 60% chance of precipitation. Temperatures will continue to fall into Wednesday night, dipping into the 30s, with showers likely persisting into Thursday.
On Thursday, expect another cool day, with highs only reaching between 40 to 50 degrees. Some early morning snow flurries may mix in with rain as temperatures hover close to freezing. These conditions could lead to slick spots on roadways, especially during early commutes, so travelers should exercise caution.
By Friday, the weather should stabilize with clearer skies and highs ranging from 50 to 60 degrees. However, rain chances are expected to return over the weekend, bringing potential precipitation again on Saturday night. Temperatures will remain in the lower 50s to upper 60s, signaling the onset of cooler, late autumn weather across the region.
Residents are encouraged to monitor weather updates and plan accordingly for both rain and possible snow, particularly on Thursday morning. Keep an eye on roads and sidewalks as the weather shifts from unseasonal warmth to the colder, wetter conditions typical of Minnesota’s late October climate.
