Minneapolis is starting Friday under mostly clear skies and temperatures in the low 40s, with a dry, partly sunny afternoon ahead and a high near 55. The bigger shift arrives after Halloween, when rain becomes the main forecast item Monday and Tuesday, as the weather system could be active.
Friday Offers One More Easy Outdoor Window
Friday temperatures are forecast to change from morning into daytime, while light ESE winds are expected. The National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen forecast calls for no rain Friday, making it the cleanest day for errands, a walk or any last-minute Halloween setup.
That is a meaningful change from Hoodline's earlier Minneapolis forecast, which had a warmer and wetter Halloween weekend in view.
Halloween Looks Mild But Not Completely Dry
Saturday will be cloudy with a high near 56 and a 40% chance of rain showers. Winds should be light around 5 mph, and the shower risk eases to a slight chance Saturday evening, so costumes may need a rain-ready backup but not full winter gear.
Monday And Tuesday Bring The Wettest Stretch
Rain chances jump to 80% Monday, with a high of 62°F and southeast winds of 10–15 knots. Showers are expected to continue Monday night into Tuesday, and Tuesday's high is forecast near 60.
Cooler, Showery Weather Lingers
Precipitation chances should slowly decrease Wednesday into Thursday. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Minneapolis, but the forecast favors an umbrella and extra caution for slick roads during the Monday-Tuesday commute.
