Minneapolis is starting Sunday with light rain, fog and a damp feel, but the gray opening should give way to a warmer afternoon near 70 degrees. The week ahead brings a brief stretch of mild, mostly cloudy weather before Tuesday turns notably wetter.
Fog Lifts As Sunday Warms Up
Morning showers and patchy fog are expected to taper off by around 9 a.m., with skies gradually breaking later in the day. Temperatures should climb from the upper 50s early to around 70 by afternoon, with light east winds and a few late-day sunny breaks.
Sunday night stays mostly cloudy, with a low near 57. Monday will be similarly mild and gray, reaching about 73 degrees with light southeast winds and only a minimal chance of rain, according to the National Weather Service.
Tuesday Brings The Week’s Wettest Weather
Rain showers become likely after 7 a.m. Tuesday, when Minneapolis has about an 80% chance of precipitation and a high near 69. Some thunderstorms could be mixed in, and forecast rainfall ranges from a quarter-inch to a half-inch during the day.
Showers are expected to continue Tuesday night, with another half-inch to three-quarters of an inch possible and temperatures falling to around 57. That could make for a soggy commute and a decidedly less cooperative evening for outdoor plans.
Cooler, Brighter Weather Arrives Late Week
Wednesday keeps a 40% chance of showers under mostly cloudy skies, with a high near 71. A slight chance of early showers lingers Thursday before conditions turn partly sunny and cooler, with a high around 67.
Friday looks like the week’s clearest outdoor window, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 64. Saturday stays cool near 63 with only a slight chance of an early shower, sharpening the forecast update from Hoodline’s earlier outlook as Tuesday’s rain threat comes into sharper focus.
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Minneapolis in the current forecast. Still, Sunday morning drivers should allow extra time for wet roads and reduced visibility in fog, while Tuesday looks like the day to keep an umbrella close.
