Minneapolis is starting Saturday with fog and mist, but the gray, damp opening should give way to a sunny afternoon near 84 degrees. Patchy fog may briefly slow the morning commute, especially in low-lying areas, before skies clear and a north breeze picks up.
The National Weather Service Twin Cities says visibility could drop quickly in pockets through about 8 a.m., with drivers advised to use low beams and slow down. At Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, temperatures were near 65 degrees early Saturday with calm winds and visibility around 6 miles, though conditions may vary across the metro.
Sunny Weekend Weather Takes Over
Saturday afternoon should be dry and bright, with north winds around 5 to 10 mph and a high near 84. Saturday night will be mostly clear and cooler, with temperatures falling to around 62 degrees.
Sunday looks similarly pleasant, with sunshine, light east-northeast winds and a high near 82. Monday stays sunny and mild near 83 degrees, giving Minneapolis a solid stretch of weather for outdoor plans before the next round of storm chances arrives.
Storm Chances Return Monday Night
A 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms develops after 1 a.m. Monday night, followed by another 30% chance Tuesday. Tuesday should be mostly cloudy with a high near 79, while drier weather returns Wednesday with mostly sunny skies and a high near 78.
The rest of the week trends warmer but generally manageable, with mostly sunny conditions and highs near 83 Thursday and 86 Friday. A few showers or thunderstorms could return late Thursday night and Friday, but the immediate forecast favors sunshine over soggy plans.
