Friday morning in the Twin Cities starts off calm and comfortable, with clear skies, light winds and temperatures near 68°F at Minneapolis–St. Paul International. It will not stay that way for long. Forecasters say to expect mostly sunny conditions on Friday, July 10, with a high near 88°F and an overnight low around 64°F. A brief, isolated shower is possible late Friday night, roughly between 11 p.m. and midnight, but most neighborhoods should stay dry for the evening commute.
What To Expect This Weekend And Beyond
A slight chance of rain lingers from late Friday night into early Saturday morning (from about 11 p.m. Friday, July 10 into the morning of Saturday, July 11, 2026). After that, Saturday turns mostly sunny and hotter, with a high near 90°F and heat index values up to about 95°F. The warming trend keeps building into next week, with highs in the low to mid 90s from Sunday through Tuesday (July 12–14, 2026) and little organized rain expected through at least Tuesday. Forecasters say this stubborn pattern could stick around long enough that heat headlines may be needed if it keeps amplifying. NWS Twin Cities
How To Stay Cool
City officials are nudging residents to start planning now for several hot days in a row. Their advice: use air conditioned public spaces when you can, shift heavy outdoor work to morning or evening hours, drink plenty of water and check in on older adults and neighbors who might be more vulnerable to the heat. Public libraries, community centers and other designated cooling locations are listed online and can offer a break from the heat during peak afternoon hours. City of Minneapolis
