Minnesota’s weekend weather: sunshine today, small chance of rain tonight

This weekend, Minnesota is getting a classic spring weather mix. Saturday mornings started out cool but slowly warmed up under bright sunshine. By afternoon, temperatures hit around 64 degrees in most areas. As the day goes on, clouds will build up from the west as a weather front drifts in from North Dakota. By the time dinner rolls around, a few random showers might pop up in places like the Twin Cities, St. Cloud, Alexandria, and Brainerd. Don’t expect a heavy rainstorm though. These showers will be light and scattered, mostly showing up around sunset. Most of the day will still feel pleasant and dry, with evening temperatures dropping into the 40s. The northern parts of the state might even dip into the 30s overnight, so if you're camping or out late, a jacket could come in handy.Looking ahead, Sunday looks even nicer with sunny skies and milder temperatures. The next few days will stay mostly dry, though Monday could bring another brief shower. The real change comes midweek when temperatures take a noticeable dip. Highs will struggle to reach the 50s Tuesday through Thursday, and early mornings could feel downright chilly—especially Wednesday and Thursday when lows might hit the mid-30s. If you have outdoor plans during this stretch, you’ll want to bundle up. Those chilly mornings might catch some people off guard, especially if they’re used to warmer spring weather. By the end of the week, temperatures should start climbing back to normal levels, making things feel more comfortable. For now, enjoying the sunshine today and keeping an eye on those evening sprinkles is the best approach.
