Minneapolis residents can expect the weather to take them on a somewhat steady journey of rising and falling temperatures over the next week, but with minimal interruptions by rainfall, according to the recent forecast. Today, the skies will clear up after a mostly cloudy morning, giving way to a sunny afternoon with highs touching the mid-50s. Tonight, the calm continues with a mostly clear sky and temperatures dropping to the mid-30s.
Looking ahead to Friday, sunshine dominates, ushering in a warmer high near 65 degrees. A gentle breeze from the southeast will be present, which will pick up slightly in the evening bringing more clouds and a low in the upper 40s. Come Saturday, the winds shift, becoming more blustery from the northwest and gusting up to 25 mph, which will make the high of 53 feel cooler. Saturday night's chill will see temperatures dip to around 30.
Sunday's forecast indicates a calm respite with plenty of sun and a daytime high hovering in the mid-40s, although evening temperatures are expected to fall to a chilly 28 degrees. The start of the new week brings a minor twist with a 20 percent chance of rain after noon on Monday amidst partly sunny skies, followed by a chance for some rain and snow mixture Monday night, where the thermometer slides down to just above the freezing mark.
As Minneapolis heads into Tuesday, the weather takes a steadier turn with a slight chance of rain and snow, transitioning to partly sunny conditions and a high in the low 40s. The evening remains mostly cloudy with similar lows from the night prior. Wednesday is looking to hold steady with cloud cover and highs in the low 40s, and a gentle southern breeze should keep the day feeling slightly less than crisp.
