MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Drivers across Minnesota should prepare for breezy conditions along I-35 and metro routes heading into Monday, September 29. Gusty winds up to 25 mph could challenge high-profile vehicles, while sunny skies keep road surfaces dry and visibility clear.
According to the National Weather Service, the Twin Cities will see steady sunshine Sunday with highs near 77. By Monday, temperatures will climb into the low 80s, accompanied by stronger south winds. The pattern signals a shift as Minnesota heads toward October, with more clouds building by Tuesday and Wednesday.
Travelers on I-35, I-94, and Highway 62 may feel the impact of crosswinds Monday, particularly in open stretches near the river valleys. Commuters are urged to secure loose items outdoors, drive cautiously in lighter vehicles, and check for changing conditions during peak morning and afternoon travel windows.
Sunday night will be mild, with lows around 55 under clear skies. Monday’s high will reach near 83, the warmest of the upcoming stretch, before clouds thicken midweek. Tuesday brings partly sunny skies and highs near 81, while Wednesday holds near 80 but trends cloudier.
The early October outlook suggests Minnesota could shift from bright, warm afternoons to cooler, more unsettled conditions. Residents should prepare for possible weather pattern changes as the new month begins.
