Minneapolis is starting Sunday near 30 degrees, but the morning chill will give way to sunshine and a high near 50. The warmer air arrives just in time for outdoor plans, although temperatures will ease back into the mid-40s during the afternoon.
Warmth Builds, Wind Follows
Monday through Wednesday look mostly dry and unusually mild, with highs near 53, 55 and 57 degrees, respectively. South and southwest winds will strengthen, with afternoon gusts reaching around 23 mph Monday and Tuesday and around 30 mph Wednesday.
Monday night stays mostly clear with a low near 42, while Tuesday night turns partly cloudy with a low around 46. Wednesday remains partly sunny, though the stronger breeze may make the warmup feel more dramatic than the thermometer suggests.
Rain Holds Off Until The End Of The Week
A slight chance of rain arrives Wednesday night, but Thursday should remain mostly dry with a high near 53. The more meaningful shift comes Friday, when rain chances rise to 40%, followed by an 80% chance of rain Friday night and a 70% chance Saturday.
That timing is a notable update from an earlier Hoodline forecast that focused on rain returning Thursday. The latest outlook instead points to a wetter Friday night and Saturday, with gusty west winds possible Saturday afternoon.
No Alerts, Just A Big Temperature Swing
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Minneapolis. For Sunday, the practical forecast is simple: wear the warmer layer early, enjoy the sunny afternoon and keep a lighter jacket handy as the wind picks up Monday through Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
