Minneapolis–St. Paul is waking up to mostly cloudy skies Saturday with a high near 83°F — and with dewpoints hovering in the comfortable 50s, this is one of the nicer late-May days the metro has seen. Check the Minneapolis weather forecast for updates throughout the day.
Today’s Setup
The National Weather Service says a stationary front is parked across western Minnesota, keeping showers and storms well off to the west. The Twin Cities lands in the clear zone, with east-southeast winds of 0 to 15 mph and just a 5% rain chance. Mostly cloudy skies will keep it from being a full scorcher — honestly ideal for spending long hours outside without burning up.
Best Window To Be Outside
The whole day looks fair. Head to Bde Maka Ska, Lake Harriet, or Minnehaha Regional Park early before the crowds roll in. Golfers, this weekend is yours: pack your Pinemeadow Golf wedges and a golf cooler bag insulated with cold drinks — conditions don’t get much better in late May. Anglers, the 10,000 lakes are calling with a textbook fishing window: light breeze, low humidity, and comfortable temps.
