Unseasonably warm temperatures could challenge a Twin Cities record Friday night before a cold front brings cooler fall weather and a few chances for rain this weekend.
Friday will become windy with some increased cloud cover. It will be warm through Saturday before cooler air moves in Sunday. We’ll also see the chance of showers increase.
We are close to high-temperature records Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and warmest low-temperature records early Saturday. Then rain knocks us way down into most of Halloween week.
University of Minnesota researcher Melissa Kenney is a part of a group of scientists trying to identify priorities for climate science after the Trump administration paused work on the National Climate Assessment in 2025.
We have a few incredibly warm days ahead before more seasonable air arrives early next week. We’ll also see the chance of at least a little rain increase this weekend.
Enjoy the sunshine for the next several days. As a bonus, we have tons of warmth. You might miss both sides of the weather by next week when it’s drizzly and much colder!
Temperatures warm even more Wednesday into Saturday. We’ll see highs in the 70s for southern and western Minnesota. A few showers are possible Friday in western Minnesota and statewide this weekend.
The streak of sunny days continues Tuesday into Thursday. We’ll see just a few more clouds Friday and for the weekend. Temps will continue to run above normal.
If you’re looking for a change in the weather, good luck. Mother Nature has apparently lost the remote, and we’re stuck on the same channel all week. Sunshine, dry conditions and temperatures more typical of late summer than mid-October will continue to dominate the weather pattern this week.
