Minneapolis is waking up Sunday, November 1, in fog and mist around 54 degrees, but the day will turn into a mild, partly sunny one with a high near 68. The warmth is a brief encore: rain arrives before Monday’s morning commute, and the Twin Cities could be dealing with a soaking, stormy stretch through Tuesday.
Fog Burns Off Before A Mild Afternoon
Patchy fog should linger through about 10 a.m. before giving way to partly sunny skies. South-southeast winds will run 5 to 10 mph, with temperatures reaching the upper 60s during the afternoon. Light rain could begin as early as 2 a.m. CST Monday, November 2.
Monday Brings Heavy Rain And Thunder
The National Weather Service expects a large area of rain during the day Monday. The high should reach about 62 degrees, with southeast winds gusting to 30 knots. Forecast rainfall for Monday is between three-quarters of an inch and 1 inch, enough for slick roads, reduced visibility and a thoroughly unpleasant commute.
Rain is expected to continue into Tuesday. The Twin Cities forecast discussion calls for widespread soaking rain of roughly 1 to 2 inches across the region from Monday through Wednesday, with higher totals possible elsewhere in Minnesota.
Tuesday Keeps The Umbrellas Out
Rain is expected at times Tuesday and Wednesday. The high may reach 64 degrees, but temperatures are expected to fall toward the mid-50s later in the day.
Cooler, Quieter Weather Arrives Midweek
Wednesday brings a lingering 50% chance of rain and a high near 56. Thursday should be partly sunny with a 20% chance of rain and a high near 55. Friday may be partly sunny, with a high near 53. Saturday's high may be near 54.
