Minnesotans should brace for intermittent rain showers and drizzle sweeping across the state Sunday, with the highest rainfall chances occurring in western areas, including the Twin Cities. This rain will likely arrive overnight Saturday into early Sunday morning, potentially impacting early weekend plans and travel. Drivers should anticipate wet roads and reduced visibility due to patchy fog, especially along I-94 and I-35.
According to the National Weather Service, the rain will move west to east, with the heaviest showers expected between 1 a.m. and 10 a.m. Sunday. By the afternoon, precipitation will taper off, leaving cloudy skies and mild temperatures hovering in the low to mid-50s. Total rainfall accumulations are anticipated to be modest, with most areas receiving around 0.25 inches or less.
Looking ahead, Veterans Day on Monday promises clearer skies and a break from rain. Highs will be near 47 degrees, ideal for outdoor commemorations and events. The calm weather is expected to hold, offering a much drier start to the workweek.
The extended forecast shows mostly sunny conditions Tuesday, with highs around 51 degrees. Rain chances return late Tuesday night, and showers may linger into Wednesday morning, with highs reaching 53 degrees. Expect northwest winds picking up slightly midweek, creating cooler conditions by Wednesday evening as temperatures drop into the mid-30s.
