Minneapolis, MN – Dry and windy conditions across Minnesota will elevate the fire danger Tuesday, while a shift in weather later this week will bring rain and cooler temperatures.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), a strong warm front will push highs into the upper 60s and 70s Tuesday. However, humidity will drop to as low as 20% in the afternoon, increasing fire concerns. Winds from the west will strengthen, with gusts reaching 25 mph by late afternoon. Authorities urge residents to check local burn restrictions before starting outdoor fires.
After the fire risk subsides, Minnesota’s spring weather will take a turn. By Friday, rain showers and possible thunderstorms are expected, with highs reaching the low 70s. Winds will shift, bringing gusts up to 25 mph. Saturday will bring widespread rain, with temperatures cooling into the 50s.
A significant drop in temperatures will follow. By Saturday night, rain may transition to snow as lows dip into the 20s. Sunday will feel much colder, with highs in the low 30s and gusty northwest winds up to 30 mph.
Residents should stay updated on fire risks early this week and prepare for wet and colder conditions by the weekend. Stay tuned for weather updates and travel advisories as conditions change.
