MINNEAPOLIS — Sunday will be a beautiful day with lots of sunshine and high temperatures in the mid 60s.
There will be a strong breeze from the southwest at a speed of about 15 km/h. The highest wind gusts will occur in the southwestern part of the state, with gusts of up to 40 km per hour.
Monday and Tuesday will be even warmer with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. There is a possibility that Monday’s high could surpass the 1948 record high of 75. The average high this time of year is 52.
There is a chance of showers and some thunderstorms on Tuesday evening, but the chance of rain is greatest on Wednesday.
That front will bring cooler temperatures, with highs expected in the upper 40s for Halloween. There is a chance of some rain early on Halloween, but it should clear from the Twin Cities in time for trick-or-treating activities.
More sunshine and average temperatures are expected towards the end of the working week, before much-needed rain is likely to return on Saturday.
