Minneapolis gets one last breath of comfortable air Friday morning, with cool, mostly clear conditions around 61°F at sunrise and a light east-southeast breeze. Skies will cloud up through the day, and temperatures are expected to climb to about 79°F this afternoon, so you may want a light jacket early and a shady spot by lunchtime.
What To Expect This Weekend
Saturday turns warmer and mostly sunny, with highs near 85°F. By Sunday, the humidity moves in, and the air starts to feel heavy, with highs around 89°F. That is when a long-duration heat wave is forecast to kick off and drag through next week, with Monday shaping up as the worst of it.
On Monday, readings could jump into the mid to upper 90s, with heat-index values in the 105–110°F range. Residents should be ready for steamy days and very little overnight relief during the worst stretch, according to the National Weather Service Twin Cities.
Thunderstorms And Gusty Winds
Storm chances will be in the mix too. Periodic thunderstorms are possible from late Saturday night into Sunday and again through the middle of next week, with the best chance for showers and storms late Saturday night into Sunday morning…
