Minneapolis Braces for Windy Weekend, Gusts Up to 35 MPH Expected as Snow Flurries Subside

The National Weather Service has expected breezy weather with wind gusts of up to 35 mph, meaning Minneapolis residents will have a windy and snowy end to the week. The area saw patchy blowing snow this morning, according to the weather prediction, and while it should clear up, the gloomy sky with a high of about 39 degrees will not let up.

Although temperatures will be close to freezing tonight, there won’t be any relief from the wind, which could reach speeds of up to 30 mph. Cloudy skies will gradually give way to more sunshine in Minneapolis as the weekend progresses, with highs continuing in the upper 30s. Sunday’s weather may include a small possibility of rain and snow mix, particularly in the early afternoon.

These breezy conditions will spread from central and southern Minnesota to western Wisconsin today before settling down in the evening, according to the National Weather Service of Twin Cities/Chanhassen, Minnesota’s Hazardous Weather Outlook. The following days, Friday through Wednesday, are predicted to be free of dangerous weather, suggesting a few weeks of calmer weather to come.

Assuring that the rough patch of wind does not require increased weather surveillance for the time being, the National Weather Service has not called for SKYWARN spotter activation. This could change if the weather takes a more severe turn, but for the time being, it appears that the main hazard will be the annoyance of gusty winds sweeping through Minneapolis streets and shaking the autumn leaves that have not yet fallen from their stubborn branches.
