UPDATE: Minneapolis residents are bracing for a week of variable weather, with a mix of sun and rain expected to impact daily activities. The National Weather Service confirms that starting today, the city will enjoy a mostly sunny day with temperatures reaching a high of 63 degrees. However, prepare for a shift as rain is likely to begin late tonight.
As of 1 a.m. Monday, the chance of precipitation climbs to 60%, with rainfall amounts predicted between a tenth and a quarter of an inch. This rain is set to continue into Tuesday, when the likelihood will increase to 70%, potentially disrupting the calm autumn atmosphere many Minneapolitans have been enjoying.
Tonight, temperatures will dip to a cool 43 degrees, a serene precursor to the incoming showers. Residents are advised to take advantage of the clear evening skies before the rain rolls in. Tuesday night will see a 50% chance of rain, with similar precipitation amounts expected.
As the week progresses, the forecast shows a temporary break in the rain. Wednesday promises a partly sunny day with highs around 53 degrees, offering a brief respite before more rainfall returns. By Thursday, expect partly sunny skies again, with daytime temperatures hovering around 52 degrees and nighttime lows dropping into the 30s. Sweaters and jackets will be essential for outdoor plans.
Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday is expected to be partly sunny with a high near 53 degrees, accompanied by a gentle west-southwest wind at 5 to 10 mph. For ongoing updates and detailed forecasts, residents can visit the National Weather Service’s official website.
