Minneapolis is waking up to clear skies and temperatures around 66 degrees Sunday morning, with sunshine set to carry the city into a warm, rain-free afternoon. The high should reach 84 degrees, making this a pleasant day for patios, parks and just about any outdoor plan that does not involve voluntarily standing in a thunderstorm.
Sunshine Holds Through Sunday
Sunday will stay sunny with light east-northeast winds generally between 0 and 5 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Skies will remain mostly clear Sunday night as temperatures fall to around 65 degrees, with southeast winds near 5 mph.
No watches or warnings are in effect for the Minneapolis area. Early humidity may be noticeable, but visibility is currently good and the forecast calls for a quiet, bright day.
Storm Chances Arrive Late Monday
Monday will bring another sunny and warm day, with a high near 85 degrees and south-southeast winds of 5 to 15 mph. The bigger change arrives late Monday night, when showers and thunderstorms become likely after 1 a.m. Tuesday.
The chance of rain is around 60%, and storms could produce wind gusts as high as 25 mph. Some showers or thunderstorms may linger before 7 a.m. Tuesday, followed by mostly cloudy skies and a cooler high near 78 degrees.
Cooler Midweek, Warmer Again
Temperatures dip into the lower 60s Tuesday night before Wednesday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 79 degrees. The warmer pattern returns Thursday and Friday, with highs forecast near 83 and 86 degrees, respectively.
Saturday could reach 87 degrees with a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms. For Minneapolis, the week ahead looks like a classic summer rotation: sunny and warm to start, stormy overnight Monday, cooler midweek and heating back up by the weekend.
