Warmer and breezy today, near record highs Monday and Tuesday

Here’s your Sunday morning forecast for October 27, 2024 from Minnesota’s Weather Authority and Meteorologist Wren Clair.

Good Sunday morning! Temperatures this morning are about ten degrees warmer than yesterday morning. We’re waking up to sunny skies and breezy southerly winds. Today’s high temperatures are back in the mid-60s (average high today is 52° for the Twin Cities).

Winds stay breezy tonight, and temperatures stay warm in the low-50s and upper-48s. While we have more cloud cover tonight into tomorrow, temperatures continue to warm to near record highs. Tomorrow features strong winds out of the south/southwest with highs in the mid-70s (record: 75°, 1948).

Tuesday is the peak of the heat with highs in the upper-70s, meaning we’re on track to tie the metro record high of 78° set back in 1922.

Rain and storms are likely overnight Tuesday through late Wednesday, with a shot at 0.25″ to 0.50″ of rainfall possible. Right now, the timing of the cold front would lead to colder temperatures across western and northern Minnesota Wednesday, but a warm start across the metro and southeastern Minnesota with morning temperatures near 70 degrees but fall daytime temperatures into the afternoon. Any timing changes with the frontal system, will render a change in the temperature outlooks for the day on Wednesday.

Thursday starts out with a good deal of cloud cover and the midweek storm system departs the Great Lakes region. Spotty rain showers are possible early Thursday morning mainly east of I-35. Partly sunny skies are in place most of your Halloween forecast with cooler high temperatures in upper-40s and low-50s.

Have a wonderful day!
