Minneapolis, Minnesota – Minnesota drivers and families, brace for a rollercoaster week of spring weather as sunshine, breezes, and showers target the Twin Cities and major interstates. Tuesday brings a welcome return of sun and cooler air, but another round of rain will disrupt travel and outdoor plans by Thursday, especially along I-94 and I-35.
According to the National Weather Service Twin Cities, clear skies and a high near 60°F will arrive Tuesday. Northwest winds may gust up to 15 mph, making it a good day to secure any loose items outdoors and dress in layers for the chill. By Wednesday, expect mostly sunny skies and a warmer high near 68°F—ideal for travel, errands, or spring sports.
However, a weather ALERT is in effect for late Wednesday night into Thursday as a strong system brings a 50 percent chance of rain, potentially impacting morning and evening commutes across the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro and highways like I-94. Thursday’s high will reach near 66°F, but showers may reduce visibility and cause slick roads, so drivers should plan for extra travel time and check for updates.
Friday sees the return of sun and mild spring temperatures, with highs around 64°F and light northwest winds—a perfect finish to the workweek. Heading into Saturday, the Twin Cities will enjoy highs near 74°F and more sunshine.
