Minneapolis is in for a mild Monday, with patchy fog in parts of the area and scattered upper-level clouds through the morning, thinning later; temperatures around 41 degrees before sunrise and an afternoon high near 60. The warmup will be brief, though, with cooler air settling in tonight and a noticeable chill arriving by midweek.
The latest forecast from the National Weather Service Twin Cities calls for partly sunny skies and southwest winds of 5 to 10 mph. Rain chances remain minimal Monday, while temperatures climb from the low 40s in the morning to the upper 50s during the afternoon.
A Quick Warmup, Then A Cooler Turn
Monday night will be mostly clear, with a low around 37 and light west-northwest winds. Tuesday stays dry and partly sunny, but the high will be closer to 55 before temperatures slip again Tuesday night.
A few light showers could develop early Wednesday, although most of Minneapolis should remain dry and little to no accumulation is expected. Veterans Day is expected to be partly sunny with a high in the upper 40s, followed by a Wednesday night low in the upper 20s.
Freezing Mornings Arrive Later This Week
Thursday is expected to be mostly sunny with a high around 40. Friday will be sunny and slightly warmer at about 42, but the overnight low could dip to 29.
The weekend offers a modest rebound, with sunny skies and a high near 46 Saturday before mostly sunny conditions push Sunday’s high to around 52. No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect, but residents making early-morning plans later this week may want to trade the light Monday layers for a heavier coat.
