MINNEAPOLIS, MN – A soft gray sky blankets the Twin Cities this morning, and the air carries a cool, wet edge as drizzle lingers on car roofs and sidewalks. Streetlights reflect faintly off the damp pavement — a reminder that November’s chill has fully settled across southern Minnesota.
According to the National Weather Service in Chanhassen, a slight chance of drizzle continues early this morning before skies turn mostly cloudy through the day. Highs will reach only the mid-40s with light north winds, keeping a damp chill in the air. Saturday marks a pause in what has been a week of shifting temperatures and early hints of winter across the northern Plains.
Sunday brings a brighter break. Sunshine returns and winds turn south, helping temperatures climb into the low 50s — a welcome shift before another quick system moves through Sunday night. A brief chance of light rain could touch parts of the metro after dark, but accumulations are expected to stay light.
By Monday, Minnesota enjoys a mild, dry stretch with highs near 55°F and calm winds. It’s ideal weather for yard cleanup or post-Halloween errands before darker, colder days return later in November.
To be fair, the mild spell won’t last forever. Models hint at a colder push arriving late next week, bringing a chance for the season’s first measurable flakes north of I-94. For now, though, Twin Cities residents can savor a few crisp, quiet fall days before winter’s next steps begin to show.
