Minneapolis woke up to a chilly, gray start Sunday, May 10, 2026, with temperatures stuck in the low 40s and a Frost Advisory in effect through 8 a.m. CDT. Tender potted plants and newly set transplants are on the line, so residents are urged to cover them or haul them inside before that early morning chill does its worst.
Today and Next Rain Chances
According to the NWS Twin Cities, afternoon highs will rebound into the low 60s Sunday under mostly sunny skies, with northwest winds around 5–15 mph. The Frost Advisory is scheduled to run through 8 a.m. CDT, with frost likely this morning and another round of frost or even pockets of freezing temperatures possible early Monday, May 11. The next shot at wet weather arrives late Monday into Tuesday, bringing showers, a chance of thunderstorms, and blustery northwest winds on Tuesday that could gust to roughly 35 mph.
Gardeners and Commuters
Gardeners are advised to cover or move vulnerable plants overnight and to hold off on setting out warm‑season transplants until this stretch of cool nights is in the rearview. Simple tools like floating row covers, cloches, or just bringing containers indoors can make the difference, according to the University of Minnesota Extension.
Quick Take
Cover plants tonight, enjoy a mild and mostly sunny Sunday, and keep an eye on the forecast Monday night into Tuesday when showers and gusty winds could complicate the morning commute. We will post updates if any watches or warnings are issued.
