Minneapolis is starting Wednesday, September 30, with fog and mist before a warm afternoon reaches the mid-70s. The gray morning should gradually improve before breaking sunshine arrives, giving the city one last mild-feeling day before temperatures settle into the 60s.
Early conditions around Minneapolis include temperatures in the mid-60s and high humidity. Visibility at KMSP is forecast to fall to 1 mile by 10–11Z, with reductions below 4 miles elsewhere in the forecast area. Areas of fog are expected to linger until around 11 a.m., with southwest winds generally staying light and no watches, warnings or advisories listed.
Warm Wednesday Gives Way To A Cooler Thursday
Wednesday afternoon should peak near 76 degrees under breaking sunshine. By Wednesday night, temperatures fall to around 58, followed by a cooler Thursday with a high near 65 and north-northwest winds of 5 to 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Friday looks like the cleanest weather day in the near-term forecast, with sunshine, a high near 63 and light northwest winds. Overnight lows will dip into the upper 40s, so the morning commute may feel much more like October than the warm start to Wednesday.
Saturday Holds A Brief Shower Chance
The weekend begins with partly sunny skies Saturday and a high near 63, but a 30% chance of rain showers arrives after 1 p.m. Any showers should be isolated and light, with most of the day remaining dry; Saturday night brings a low near 48 and a quick return to partly cloudy conditions.
Sunday and Monday look sunny and quiet, with highs near 61 and 60, respectively.
For Minneapolis, the forecast is less about a major storm than a sharp seasonal reset: foggy warmth Wednesday, a cooler stretch Thursday through Monday, and only a limited shower risk before the next mild bump arrives.
