As the Twin Cities brace for a blend of sun and storms, Minneapolis residents can expect varied weather conditions over the coming days. According to the National Weather Service, today's forecast is mostly sunny with a high near 82 degrees. A mild south southwest wind is blowing at around 5 mph, setting the stage for a pleasant day ahead.
Tonight, the city will see a shift as the skies turn mostly cloudy, and temperatures dip to a low around 66 degrees. The same south southwest breezes will slow to a calm as evening settles in, according to forecast.weather.gov. Patchy fog is likely to develop before 7am on Saturday, with the possibility of showers and thunderstorms escalating during the afternoon. New rainfall could tally up anywhere between a half, and three-quarters of an inch.
The start of the week won't mark an end to the unpredictable weather. Monday holds a 30 percent likelihood of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, following patches of morning fog. The day should, however, be mostly sunny with a high peaking around 83 degrees. Light northwest winds will stir again in the afternoon.
Looking towards midweek, Wednesday's outlook promises a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms amid patchy morning fog. Otherwise, the skies will be mostly sunny, with daytime highs hovering near 80 degrees. Calm winds are expected to pick up at a mild north northeast direction at about 5 mph, becoming tranquil yet again as night falls. For those making plans, Thursday seems to be aiming for sunny and clear conditions with a similar daily high.
