Twin Cities record warmth today, cooling down late week

Here’s your Monday evening forecast for March 11, 2024 from Minnesota’s Weather Authority and Meteorologist Wren Clair.

Good evening! The high temperature for today reach 67 degrees for the Twin Cities, which sets the record high for today (previous record high 66°, 2012). Temperatures across Minnesota were about 15 to close to 25 degrees warmer than yesterday, and it probably comes as no surprise that we’ll stay mild tonight. Overnight lows are in the low-40s and upper-30s, with mainly clear skies (just a few fair weather clouds at times). Your Tuesday forecast stays warm with highs in the mid to low-60s and mostly sunny skies.

A gradual cool-down starts tomorrow and continues through the workweek into your Weekend forecast. Cloud cover increasing into Wednesday, with mostly cloudy skies both Wednesday and Thursday. Rain returns to the forecast late overnight Wednesday into Thursday, however this looks mainly light. Southern Minnesota stand a better shot at about a quarter of an inch of rainfall.

Have a wonderful night!
