Minneapolis, Minnesota – Drivers across Minnesota will enjoy clear skies and dry roads through Tuesday, with sunshine dominating travel corridors like I-94 and I-35. By midweek, however, a mid-summer storm chance could disrupt evening commutes and set the tone for Labor Day weekend travel.
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday brings highs near 75 degrees with calm winds and mostly clear skies by evening. Wednesday warms into the upper 70s, but a slight chance of thunderstorms develops after 10 p.m., especially in the Twin Cities metro. The agency reports only a 20% chance of precipitation, but any storms could slow overnight traffic and trigger minor delays.
Across the state, Monday night and Tuesday remain ideal for outdoor plans, including late-summer sports, barbecues, and back-to-school errands. With dry conditions holding, travelers should use the first half of the week to run errands and complete yard work before rain chances return.
Looking ahead, Thursday and Friday stay mostly sunny, with highs in the mid-70s. The early Labor Day outlook trends favorable, with dry skies expected into Saturday, though scattered showers could develop by Sunday. For families heading north toward Duluth or Brainerd, road conditions appear clear for the bulk of the holiday weekend.
Residents should monitor updates as Wednesday night approaches, as additional advisories may be issued if storm chances increase.
