Minneapolis residents can look forward to a breath of crisp, sunny weather today, with temperatures climbing to a moderate high of nearly 39 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service. The northwest wind, blowing at a steady pace of 5 to 15 mph, promises to keep things feeling cool and fresh under the clear skies.
As nighttime approaches, the city will experience a shift to partly cloudy skies; the temperatures are expected to dip to around 25 degrees, providing a chilly end to the day—though the north-northwest wind is set to slow to a calmer 5 to 10 mph before becoming a gentle breeze after midnight. Tuesday will bring a mix of sun and clouds, with a high forecasted to be near 37 degrees and calm winds that will pick up a southwesterly whisper at around 5 mph in the morning, creating a subtle stir in the day's serenity.
The overcast show continues into Tuesday night when a cloud cover builds, setting the stage for a low of about 28 degrees; the southeast wind will also make a quiet entrance at around 5 mph, only to swap directions and become a southwestern sigh past the stroke of midnight, this dance of wind and cloud offering a prelude to the coming variance in weather.
Wednesday's narrative twists with a something more cloudy sky, as the temperature crawls up to a near 40 degrees—the southwest wind however will not stay idle, pushing at a determined 5 to 10 mph before taking a northwesterly turn in the afternoon then Wednesday night is slated for a theatrical act of weather, wherein a chance of rain might bow before 7 pm, followed by a potential encore of snow, with the likelihood of precipitation hanging in the balance at 30% the mostly cloudy sky stands sentinel to a low around 24 degrees as the north northwest wind enters, blustering at 10 to 15 mph.
The rest of the week appears to align with the steadfast pattern of sun and clouds, with Thursday being mostly sunny despite a crisp high of 33 degrees, carried by a brisk northwest wind that may gust up to 25 mph. And as the week rolls to its cold close, Friday's forecast reveals partly sunny skies with a high barely reaching 27 degrees, and the weekend commences with the same temperament of weather—a consistent meld of sunshine and partial clouds—and high temps hovering around the upper 20s to mid-30s, as the National Weather Service notes.
