Minneapolis is waking to a cool start Monday, with a mostly cloudy day ahead and highs barely reaching 60 in central and eastern areas. The gray skies will linger through the afternoon, giving the city a distinctly early-fall feel even before the calendar gets there.
Forecast conditions call for light east-northeast winds around 5 to 10 mph, with rain mainly affecting southern or southwestern Minnesota. The National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen lists no watches, warnings or advisories for the area.
Temperatures Rebound Midweek
Monday night will see clouds begin to move out, with temperatures tumbling into the 40s. Tuesday brings a much-needed change of scenery: dry conditions and an east wind.
Wednesday should bring a rebound in temperatures. Tuesday's dry conditions make it a good bet for outdoor plans before rain chances reappear.
Rain Chances Return Thursday
Thursday could bring a chance of morning showers, with southeast winds.
The updated outlook is a more specific follow-up to Hoodline’s earlier forecast, which flagged a cool Monday, a dry Tuesday and Wednesday, and unsettled weather later in the week.
Warmer Weekend
Friday should turn warmer as ridging returns.
Saturday should be drier and mild, with highs in the low to mid 70s, while Sunday should also see warmer temperatures. For now, the week looks less like a washout than a slow transition from chilly gray skies to warmer, occasionally damp fall weather.
