Patchy fog and mist have settled over Minneapolis this morning, with temperatures near 59°F at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. Visibility is still reduced in some low-lying spots, but conditions should steadily improve through mid‑morning as the low clouds lift.

By late morning, the cloud deck is expected to scatter, giving way to a partly sunny afternoon with a high near 76°F and a light north wind around 5 mph. It will feel pleasantly mild compared with what is on the horizon, but plan a little extra time for the commute wherever the fog hangs on.

Dangerous Heat Builds Next Week

Temperatures start climbing Friday, June 26, 2026, with highs in the low 80s, then into the mid‑80s on Saturday, June 27, 2026, before jumping into the 90s on Sunday, June 28, 2026. Monday, June 29, 2026, is poised to be the brutal one, with highs near 97°F in Minneapolis and dew points rising into the low‑to‑mid 70s. That combination could send heat indices into the 103–108°F range. According to the National Weather Service Twin Cities, this will mark the first dangerous heat day of the season, and the broader pattern could keep hot conditions locked in into next week.

Thunderstorm Chances

Periodic chances for showers and thunderstorms move in Saturday night (June 27–28, 2026) and may pop up on and off through the first part of next week. Storms look most likely late Saturday night into Sunday morning and again Monday night, with southeast winds at times gusting up to 25–30 mph. Any cells that do develop may be brief but locally heavy, so keep an eye out for last‑minute timing shifts and spotty downpours.

What To Do

Shift outdoor work to the morning hours as much as possible, drink plenty of water, and check in on older neighbors and anyone without air conditioning as the heat moves in. If you do not have AC, Hennepin County lists cooling resources and guidance for heat relief; heading to a cool public space on Monday, June 29, 2026, may be a smart move. Overnight will not bring much relief either, with lows only dropping into the 70s, so make a plan to protect pets, outdoor workers, and anyone especially vulnerable to heat.
