Minneapolis, Minnesota – Cooler-than-normal air and steady rain could disrupt travel and outdoor plans across the Upper Midwest starting Saturday.

According to the National Weather Service, the region shows a 50–60% chance of above-normal precipitation, while northern areas trend below normal in temperature.

Minneapolis and Milwaukee will experience periods of rain, with daytime highs running 5 to 10 degrees below average in parts of Minnesota.

Chicago and Detroit sit on the edge of the wetter pattern, where rain may be more intermittent but still impactful during commutes.

Wet roads and reduced visibility could affect travel along I-94, I-35, and surrounding highways.

Residents should prepare for damp, cool conditions, wear layered clothing, and allow extra time for travel.

This pattern holds through Wednesday, with additional updates expected as conditions evolve.
