Hot Weekend Ahead For Twin Cities, With More Warmth Likely Next Week

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The Twin Cities will be in for a summerlike weekend, with highs well into the 80s and even low 90s, according to the National Weather Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Friday: A slight chance of late-day showers and storms, otherwise partly sunny with highs near 83. Skies will stay mostly cloudy overnight, with a low around 65.

Saturday: Mostly sunny and warm, with a high near 86. Lows dip to 67 under partly cloudy skies.

Sunday: The hottest day of the stretch, with highs near 91 under mostly sunny skies.

Early Next Week:

• Storm chances creep back in Sunday night into Monday, though most of the time looks dry. Highs will remain in the mid to upper 80s through Tuesday.
• A higher chance of scattered storms arrives Wednesday into Thursday, with temperatures cooling into the upper 70s and low 80s.

Looking Ahead:
The NOAA Climate Prediction Center’s 6–10 Day Outlook (Sept. 17–21) favors above-normal temperatures across Minnesota and much of the Midwest. That means the warm stretch is likely to stick around into the second half of September.
