Minnesota is off to a beautiful start this week with clear blue skies, plenty of sunshine, and a gentle northwest breeze blowing at 5 to 15 miles per hour. The air feels just right for this time of year, with temperatures staying mild across the state. Northern parts will see highs in the 50s, while southern regions warm up to the low 60s. In the Twin Cities area, the daytime temperature is expected to reach around 63 degrees, making it a pleasant day to be outdoors.
As the evening sets in, the weather will stay calm and comfortable, with a quiet night ahead. Clouds will start to move in slowly from the south and west, signaling a change in the pattern. Temperatures overnight will cool down noticeably, dropping into the 30s in northern Minnesota and the 40s in the central and southern areas. It’ll be a crisp night, perfect for cozying up indoors or enjoying a peaceful walk under a partly cloudy sky.
By Tuesday, the sunshine will give way to more clouds as cooler air settles across the state. Temperatures will hover in the 50s, and there could be a few light sprinkles early in the morning. Later in the day, rain chances will increase, bringing some much-needed moisture to the region. It won’t be a washout, but carrying an umbrella might be a good idea if you plan to be out and about.
Wednesday looks to bring some lingering clouds and perhaps a sprinkle or two in the morning, but overall, the day should remain dry. The sky will stay mostly cloudy, keeping temperatures on the cooler side, but it will still be comfortable for fall activities. The atmosphere will feel calm and steady before another change moves in by Thursday.
Thursday morning will see rain chances return as a warm front moves into Minnesota, marking the beginning of a brief warm-up. The front will bring milder air, lifting temperatures into the 70s by Friday. It’ll feel like a taste of late summer before things cool back down again. As the week wraps up, the weather is expected to remain pleasant and mild, with weekend highs in the 60s.
Overall, the week ahead offers a little bit of everything — sunshine to start, a mix of clouds and light rain midweek, and a warm finish before temperatures return to typical fall levels. It’s the kind of forecast that reminds Minnesotans why fall is such a beautiful time of year — colorful, cozy, and full of variety.
