Residents of Minneapolis are set to experience an increase in cloud coverage today, with a side of fog to mark the early hours. According to the National Weather Service, the city will see areas of dense fog dissipating by 10 a.m., giving way to clouds with the mercury expected to hit a high near 49 degrees. The winds are forecasted to be gentle, coming from the northeast at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight, the fog is predicted to make a return, creating low visibility conditions that may impact travel through early Friday morning. The nighttime sky will hold mostly cloudy veils, as the temperatures take a dip to around 30 degrees, while the east-northeast winds keep blowing at a mild 5 to 10 mph pace. Another round of partly sunny skies will accompany Friday's high of 41 degrees and the gentle east-southeast winds continue, at similar strengths.
The coming days signal fair skies for the Minneapolis region as per forecasts, with a mix of sun and clouds expected throughout the weekend. Saturday is likely to greet locals with mostly sunny conditions and highs tickling the 46-degree mark. The pleasant, yet cool, trend extends into the night, with temperatures falling to around 28 degrees under mostly clear heavens.
Heading into the second half of the weekend, Sunday continues the streak of mostly sunny skies, nudging the thermometer up near 48 degrees. Light winds from the east-northeast are anticipated to brush through at about 5 mph, hinting at a mild and stable atmosphere — unlike the density of fog that shrouded the city's morning. The National Weather Service's Hazardous Weather Outlook indicates there are no significant weather threats anticipated for the upcoming days from Friday through Wednesday.
Minneapolis residents can relax knowing hazardous weather is not on the horizon, with the rest of the week slated to see bordered sun, and highs consistently in the 40s. The only bump in the road appears to be the fog, which has been deemed the sole obstacle in an otherwise calm weather pattern for the region. The comfort of routine, and the steady hands of untroubled winds, reaffirms the city's stride into February's heart with clarity in its skies and ease in its step.
