Minnesota residents can look forward to a sunny start to the week as the state celebrates Veterans Day on Monday. Temperatures are expected to peak around 46°F with clear skies, making it ideal for outdoor events honoring veterans. However, residents should prepare for a shift as rain showers are likely to arrive late Tuesday, potentially impacting midweek commutes.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in the Twin Cities, conditions will remain mild through Veterans Day with a high of 46°F, supported by a gentle west wind. Monday night will bring cooler air, with temperatures dropping to around 31°F. By Tuesday, sunshine will persist, though clouds will gradually increase later in the day, bringing a 40% chance of showers by evening, with winds picking up to 10-15 mph. Highs are expected to reach 48°F.
Rainfall will continue through Wednesday morning, affecting commutes and outdoor plans. Temperatures are forecasted to stay in the lower 50s, though breezy conditions may intensify by the afternoon. By Wednesday night, rain is expected to clear, and skies will gradually return to a mostly clear outlook with lows around 35°F.
Looking ahead, the latter part of the week will feature drier and warmer conditions. Thursday and Friday promise mostly sunny skies, with daytime highs rising to a pleasant range between 55°F and 60°F. Southwesterly winds at 5 to 10 mph will keep the air mild, creating a comfortable end to the week.
Residents should keep an eye on Tuesday evening’s weather alerts and plan for rain-induced delays on Wednesday.
