Minneapolis residents can expect a brisk start to their weekend with a chance of flurries and mostly cloudy skies today, leading into a partly sunny Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Highs will hover near the mid-30s with a significant north-northeast wind, making it feel even chillier. Tonight's forecast promises partly cloudy conditions and a further dip in temperature to around 22 degrees.
Looking ahead to Sunday and Monday, the city is set to mostly enjoy partly sunny to mostly sunny skies, but strong gusts could make the chill seem more biting, especially on Sunday when gusts could reach as high as 30 mph. Veterans Day is shaping up to be slightly warmer with a high near 49 degrees and continued windy conditions as per the National Weather Service's latest update.
For those concerned about potential weather hazards, the outlook appears tame. The National Weather Service's Hazardous Weather Outlook suggests light snow this morning across southern Minnesota, with a minor accumulation of an inch or less expected. However, no hazardous weather events are forecasted from Sunday through the upcoming Friday.
The coming week should bring a consistent weather pattern to the area, with midweek highs nearing 47 and lows settling around the freezing mark. Residents looking to quickly prepare for winter should find the steady, though brisk, weather supportive of any last-minute outdoor endeavors. The remainder of the week promises mostly sunny days, with Friday anticipating the warmest conditions, offering a welcome high near 53 degrees to round out the week.
