Minneapolis residents are looking at a mixed bag of weather conditions for the coming week, with temperatures hovering just around the freezing mark, according to the latest briefing from the National Weather Service. Today, locals can expect a partly sunny day with highs near a mild 36 degrees, accompanied by a brisk northwest wind blowing at 10 to 15 mph.
The variability continues into tonight as the skies turn partly cloudy, anticipated to dip to a low of around 26 degrees. Meanwhile, West winds will persist at a gentle 5 to 10 mph. Sunday is forecast to gradually yield to sunshine after a mostly cloudy start, as highs inch up slightly to near 38 degrees. The west wind will stay consistent, ranging from 5 to 15 mph.
Heading into Monday, the forecast promises mostly sunny skies with temperatures peaking near 38 degrees again. The wind will shift north northwest at night, though maintaining the speed at 5 to 10 mph as the low falls around 24 degrees. Tuesday's weather seems to mirror Monday's, with a mostly sunny outlook and highs close to 38 degrees, this time with a west-northwest breeze.
However, as the week progresses, Minneapolis might just to begin to feel the onset of winter's edge once again. By Wednesday, the city faces a 20 percent chance of snow post 1 pm with the day's high creeping up to 40 degrees. The following nights witness continuity in the winter chill, setting the stage for a 20 percent chance of snow both Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Temperatures are expected to take a slight turn for the colder toward the end of the week. Thursday's high will reach near 31 degrees, and come Friday, thermometers may not climb much higher than 25 degrees. Winds for both days are predicted to arrive from the northwest, blowing in with gusto at around 10 to 15 mph, according to forecast.weather.gov.
