Minneapolis is bracing for a rollercoaster ride of weather conditions this upcoming week, with the National Weather Service issuing a heads-up for everything from widespread frost to possible thunderstorms. According to the forecast, today's early frost will give way to sunny skies with a high near 61 degrees, but these serene conditions are just the calm before the storm.

Looking ahead to tonight, skies will remain clear with a low of around 39 degrees. But don't get too comfy—Monday is set to bring a 40 percent chance of showers and gusty winds that could reach up to 35 mph. The weather whiplash continues through the week, with Tuesday's chance of showers and blustery winds, and Wednesday promising sunnier skies with a high near 58. But it's Thursday when the real action kicks in. The city can expect a 20 percent chance of afternoon showers, followed by increased chances for showers and thunderstorms and highs hovering in the low 60s.

In addition to the potential for wet weather, area residents should be aware of sub-freezing temperatures extending into early Wednesday morning. This warning comes as part of the Hazardous Weather Outlook released by the National Weather Service for central and southern Minnesota, and west central Wisconsin.

As Friday rolls in, residents should prepare for more showers, likely all day, with a 70 percent chance of precipitation. The gusty southeast wind won't make things any easier. The weekly forecast closes out with a continued 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms into Saturday. Despite the showers and potential thunder, temperatures will remain fairly mild, with daytime highs consistently in the 60s. Whether it's carrying an umbrella or bundling up against the chill, Minneapolitans will certainly need to stay weather-aware.
