It is a mostly cloudy start at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport this morning, sitting near 28°F and on track to climb into the low 40s this afternoon, with a high near 42°F on Monday, February 9, 2026. A light southeast breeze around 5 mph should keep the metro a bit milder than the recent cold snaps.
Clouds stick around through the day with only a small chance of any precipitation. Tonight, there is a slight chance of light snow between about 7 and 10 p.m., followed by mostly cloudy skies and a low near 30°F. Any precipitation that falls while surface temperatures hover near freezing could briefly ice up untreated roads and bridges, leading to a few isolated slick spots. Forecasters at the National Weather Service expect any snow totals to stay light and uneven.
Evening Commute Watch
If you are out on the roads Monday evening, give yourself a little extra time and keep a close eye on shaded pavement and overpasses, which are the first places to turn slippery as temperatures dip. Visibility should remain decent, and widespread closures are not on the table, but side streets and untreated stretches may still require some winter driving caution.
Tuesday Wind And The Week Ahead
Colder air slides back in on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, with a high near 35°F and northwest winds around 10 to 15 mph. Gusts could push into the mid 20s in spots. The rest of the week looks mostly dry, although the next solid shot at measurable snow shows up on Thursday, February 12, 2026, when a banded system could lay down a light coating, generally under one-half inch across the metro.
How To Prepare
Impacts from this pattern should stay minor. Slow down where roads look wet or shiny, give plows and snow-removal crews plenty of space to work, and check conditions before you head out. For up-to-the-minute road conditions in Minnesota, check 511mn, and consider signing up for transit alerts if you rely on buses or light rail.
