Residents in Minneapolis can expect a mixed bag of weather over the coming week, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service.

The temperatures will stick around the mid-30s, yet the blustery winds could reach gusts as high as 35 mph. The night should bring clearer skies with lows dipping to 22 degrees…
