Minneapolis is starting Friday, October 23, with a relatively quiet morning and the first solid amount of cloud cover in several days, but the day has a summerlike plot twist: highs should reach 74 before showers become possible late afternoon. South-southeast winds will strengthen as the warmest part of the day arrives, making this feel more like a breezy October bonus than a calm patio afternoon.
Warm Friday, With Showers After 3 P.M.
Friday should stay partly sunny through much of the day, with a slight chance of late-afternoon showers. Winds near Minneapolis could gust around 25 mph in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service Twin Cities.
Friday night remains mild and mostly cloudy, with a low near 62. Saturday, October 24, repeats the warmth with a high around 75, but showers again become possible after 1 p.m.
Sunday Starts The Fall Reset
Sunday, October 25, turns cooler, with a high near 55 and light northerly winds. The forecast then gets wetter and chillier Monday, October 26, with rain chances and a high near 51.
The latest outlook is a substantive update from Hoodline's Thursday forecast, extending the unsettled pattern into the middle of next week. Rain chances drop to 10%–30% Tuesday and remain in that range through much of the rest of the week. Mostly sunny skies are expected Thursday, and no watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for Minneapolis.
