Minneapolis, MN – Twin Cities residents can expect a quiet weekend of fall weather before a cold front brings cooler conditions by early next week. Friday night temperatures will drop to between 25°F and 35°F. Clear skies will dominate Saturday, with highs reaching a comfortable 58°F, before warmer conditions lead into the workweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Chanhassen, temperatures will begin to rise Sunday, peaking at 68°F with plenty of sun. Winds will remain mild at 10 mph from the north. Residents should take advantage of this sunny break for outdoor activities, as clouds return Monday, and by Tuesday, showers are expected with a high near 76°F.
Looking further into the week, showers are likely to intensify Tuesday night into Wednesday. Travelers along major routes, such as I-35 and I-94, should remain cautious of potential wet conditions. With a 70% chance of precipitation by midweek, commuters should prepare for slower traffic, especially during peak hours.
The pleasant weather this weekend provides a great opportunity to enjoy the fall foliage. Residents should remain alert, however, for quick temperature changes as the front moves in on Tuesday. As temperatures cool by midweek, Wednesday may bring highs only in the upper 50s, offering a final reminder of autumn before colder air sets in.
For those looking to get out this weekend, now is the time before rain and cooler conditions disrupt plans early next week.
