Minneapolis is waking to clear skies and temperatures near freezing Saturday, but the day is set to turn into a mild, mostly sunny November respite with a high around 51 degrees. A light south-southwest breeze will pick up through the afternoon, making it a solid day for a walk, errands or one last outdoor coffee before winter takes over the calendar.
Sunny Saturday Follows Near-Freezing Start
The National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen office expects mostly sunny skies after the chilly start, with winds around 5 to 10 mph and no meaningful chance of rain. Saturday night will stay relatively mild, dipping to about 43 degrees under partly cloudy skies, according to the National Weather Service.
That is a welcome change from the rain-heavy stretch earlier this week, when Minneapolis dealt with several soggy days and a forecast that looked better suited to umbrellas than patios. Sunday keeps the improvement going with sunshine and a high near 53 degrees.
Mild Start To Week, Cooler Veterans Day
Monday is currently shaping up as the warmest day of the stretch, with partly sunny skies and a high near 58 degrees. Tuesday should remain mostly sunny with a high around 53. Monday morning lows will drop back into the 30s.
A brief cool-down arrives around Veterans Day, when mostly sunny skies and a high near 49 are expected. Thursday and Friday bring a return to highs in the 50s, with precipitation chances staying very low through the end of the forecast period.
