Minneapolis, Minnesota – Minnesotans can expect a cool but comfortable weekend before temperatures climb back into the 70s early next week. Scattered showers may develop Saturday afternoon and evening, but the more widespread chance for rain and thunderstorms arrives Monday night through Tuesday morning.
According to the National Weather Service Twin Cities, high temperatures will hover near 61 degrees Saturday and 65 Sunday, before reaching 73 on Monday. A warm, humid pattern returns Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs in the mid-70s. The shift brings with it the potential for overnight thunderstorms late Monday into early Tuesday.
Drivers in the Twin Cities metro may encounter slick roads during the Tuesday morning commute, especially along Interstates 35 and 94. Farther north, from St. Cloud to Duluth, lighter rainfall is possible, though storms are more likely to stay concentrated across southern and central counties.
Residents are urged to keep devices charged and monitor updates, as stronger storms could bring gusty winds and localized downpours. Outdoor plans Monday evening should be flexible, with rain expected to last into Tuesday morning.
Another round of seasonal 70-degree days is expected midweek, keeping conditions more typical for early September.
