Minneapolis is waking to sunny skies Sunday, with a summerlike high of 81 ahead and south winds around 10 mph. The warm spell gets one more big day before a cold front knocks temperatures back toward fall levels.

Sunday's forecast is close to Saturday's Hoodline forecast, which had Sunday near 81 degrees. That makes Sunday the clear winner for outdoor plans, with mostly sunny skies and no meaningful rain chance.

Sunday Brings One More Taste Of Summer

According to the National Weather Service, Sunday should stay mostly sunny with a high near 81 and a south wind around 10 mph. Sunday night will be mostly cloudy, with a low near 64.

Monday Starts Warm Before Showers Move In

Columbus Day brings a high in the 50s to lower 60s. A slight chance of rain showers arrives between 1 and 4 p.m., followed by a small chance of showers and thunderstorms later in the afternoon and evening.

Monday night turns mostly cloudy as temperatures fall to around 55 degrees.

Fall Finally Takes Back The Forecast

Tuesday looks partly sunny with a high near 63, followed by a mostly sunny Wednesday near 64. Rain chances rise again Thursday, when showers are possible and the high reaches only about 61.

Friday brings a sharper chill, with a high near 55. Overnight temperatures could drop to 37 degrees before sunshine returns Saturday with a high near 54.
