Minneapolis is starting Monday with clear skies, a light breeze and temperatures around 45 degrees. The city should warm to about 66 degrees this afternoon, with sunshine sticking around and no rain expected.
Sunny Stretch Runs Through Thursday
Tuesday stays sunny with a high near 67 and a south-southeast breeze of 5 to 10 mph. Wednesday and Thursday are forecast to have highs in the mid to upper 60s under mostly sunny skies, giving residents a warm window for parks, patios and outdoor errands.
The National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen expects above-normal temperatures and dry weather through most of the week. No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Minnesota or Wisconsin in the forecast area.
Wind And Showers Arrive For Weekend
Friday stays mild near 69 degrees but turns breezier, with southeast winds at 15 knots and gusts of 25 to 30 knots. A slight chance of showers develops Friday night, followed by a 40% chance of rain Saturday and a high near 70.
Sunday looks cooler, with a high in the mid-50s; isolated showers are possible Saturday evening. For now, Monday through Thursday are the week's best bets for outdoor plans without an umbrella in the forecast.
