With a cold combination of rain and snow predicted for the coming week, Minneapolis residents might want to keep their winter supplies on hand. The National Weather Service predicts that today’s highs in the city will hover around 43 degrees and be largely overcast. Five to ten miles per hour winds are predicted to blow from the east.
Getting an umbrella ready might not be such a bad idea as tonight approaches. After midnight, a shifting breeze from the east-northeast to the northwest is predicted to bring a 70% probability of precipitation, changing the forecast from rain to a potential combination of rain and snow. The low temperature will be around 30 degrees, which is definitely not a temperature that encourages leaving your jacket behind, even though there won’t be much snow accumulation.
After a 20 percent chance of snow in the morning, Monday’s forecast is a little more forgiving. By the afternoon, cloud cover should give way to generally bright conditions, and by the evening, temperatures should drop to around 27 degrees. Not only will the sky change, but west-northwest winds will also increase to 10 to 15 mph, with gusts of up to a brisk 30 mph likely. With lows of about 19 degrees expected under partly clear sky on Monday night, the temperature is also expected to drop further into colder territory.
Tuesday is expected to offer largely sunny skies with highs close to 28, continuing the weather’s wild ride. By Tuesday evening, though, the clouds are casually returning, paving the way for a low of roughly 21 degrees. A light scarf would be a smart choice for the evening stroll because calm breezes are predicted to veer somewhat to the east-northeast at about 5 mph.
According to midweek forecasts, Wednesday is expected to be mostly sunny with a high nudging of 31 degrees and a 20% probability of snow. On Thanksgiving Day, the customary procession of turkey and stuffing may be followed by a sidebar of flurries after noon, though the probability is still only 20%. It’s a Thanksgiving to be thankful for cozy homes and warming dinners, with highs of about 28 degrees and winds of 5 to 10 mph from the west-northwest. The temperature is predicted to drop to a cold 13 degrees after supper as families settle into evening activities.
As the week comes to an end, Friday’s forecast calls for some sunshine with highs of only 20 degrees and a low of 8 degrees that night. Saturday is expected to be largely sunny with a high of just 17 degrees, indicating that the cold snap isn’t going away just yet.
