Minneapolis, MN – An unsettled weather pattern will define the week for the Twin Cities, bringing multiple chances for showers and thunderstorms and keeping outdoor plans in question through Friday. Residents can expect a significant shift following Monday’s soaking rains, though the potential for pop-up storms will linger each day.
According to the National Weather Service, the immediate concern shifts to Tuesday, which carries a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly developing after 10 a.m. While widespread severe weather is not anticipated, any storm could produce brief downpours that may impact travel on major roadways like I-35W and I-94. Drivers should remain alert for sudden changes in visibility and slick road conditions during the morning and afternoon commute.
The pattern continues into the middle of the week. Wednesday will see a high near 80 degrees with a 40% chance for afternoon showers and thunderstorms. For those planning for the Juneteenth holiday on Thursday, conditions will be warmer with a high of 82 degrees under sunny skies, but a 20% chance for a stray afternoon storm remains. Residents with outdoor celebrations should monitor local conditions closely. Another round of storms is possible Friday before the system finally clears out.
Relief arrives just in time for the weekend. The forecast shows a welcome return to sunshine on Saturday with a high of 88 degrees. The pleasant weather continues Sunday with mostly sunny skies and a high near 89, offering a perfect opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities across the region.
The daily possibility of rain will persist through the workweek. Residents are advised to keep umbrellas handy and stay aware of any weather alerts that may be issued.
