Minneapolis, MN – Rain and snow could complicate travel Tuesday morning in Minneapolis, with potential slowdowns expected along I-94 and surrounding roadways. Commuters should plan for delays and dress for a chilly start, as spring-like warmth briefly pauses for this wintry return.

According to the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities, a 30% chance of precipitation begins early Tuesday, with light rain and snow likely before 10 a.m. Conditions then shift to partly sunny skies with a high near 50°F. Winds will remain calm early, picking up slightly in the afternoon from the east.

Tuesday night will stay dry with temperatures dropping to 33°F. Northwest winds will hold steady around 5 mph. While Tuesday’s snow is expected to be light, any accumulation could make roads slick during the morning rush. Drivers along I-94, especially between St. Paul and downtown Minneapolis, should reduce speeds and allow extra travel time.

The rest of the week offers a return to more spring-like conditions. Wednesday will be mostly sunny with a high near 54°F, followed by a warmup Thursday with highs reaching 61°F. Rain chances increase again Friday and Saturday, with a 50–60% chance of showers each day and temps staying in the 50s.
