Minneapolis is set for a mixed bag of weather in the coming week, with chances of rain and snow flitting through otherwise cloudy skies. Starting today, locals are looking at a 20 percent chance of rain post 3 pm, with a calm northeasterly breeze adding a slight chill to the high of 45 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The possibility of precipitation lingers into tonight, with a mix of rain and snow on the forecast before dawn. The mercury is likely to drop to around 32 degrees, and a consistent northeast wind will blow at a speed of 5 to 10 mph. The chance of this wintry mix has been pegged at 30 percent.

Monday could see a continuation of the snow between the morning hours of 8 am and 2 pm, afterward giving way to a mere chance of rain. The high for the day is expected to hover near 44 with a steady northeast wind in play, "around 10 mph," as stated by the National Weather Service. The odds of rain or snow are floating around 30 percent.

Monday night might bring a brief period of rain before 8 pm, but the skies are predicted to clear up partly as the temperature takes a dip to about 27 degrees. The north wind, calm, but insistent at speeds of 5 to 10 mph, might just brush away the clouds overhead. On Tuesday, the city will wake up to a slight chance of snow in the early hours, followed by the potential of rain after 10 am on an otherwise mostly sunny day. The National Weather Service has forecast a high of 46 degrees with a northwest breeze making its presence felt.
