Minneapolis weather today brings sunny skies and a high near 47°F, but you’ll want to bundle up this morning after isolated snow showers expected before 5 AM CT.
Overnight conditions are chilly, with lows around 33°F and a 20% chance of those light snow showers moving through the Twin Cities before dawn. The good news? It’ll be brief. By sunrise, clouds will clear out and you’re looking at mostly sunny skies throughout the day with light northwest winds at 5 to 10 mph.
What to Wear & How to Prepare
This is classic Minnesota spring weather—don’t be fooled by the sunny forecast. That 47°F high means you’ll want a solid jacket for your morning coffee run around the lakes or a walk through the Chain of Lakes near Uptown. Layer up: a thermal base layer set under your regular clothes will keep you comfortable as the day warms up. If you’re heading out early, grab a fleece-lined beanie and touchscreen winter gloves—those snow showers could leave things damp and chilly through mid-morning.
Twins Game at Target Field
If you’re planning to catch the Twins vs. Cincinnati Reds game at Target Field today, you’re in luck weather-wise. By game time this afternoon, skies will be mostly sunny with temperatures in the mid-40s. Bundle up in the bleachers—bring a heated blanket or rechargeable hand warmers to stay comfortable during the game. The light winds mean it won’t feel as cold as the thermometer suggests, making it a solid day for baseball.
Looking Ahead
Tonight stays clear and cold, dipping to around 30°F. Monday looks fantastic—mostly sunny with a high near 61°F and south winds picking up to 5 to 15 mph. That’s perfect weather for getting outside, whether you’re heading to the Skyway system downtown, catching some rays at one of our 10,000 lakes, or just enjoying a walk around the neighborhoods. Monday night stays mild in the low 40s.
With temperatures climbing through the week, this is your last cold snap before we really shift into spring mode. If you’ve been putting off outdoor projects, Monday is your day.
Tonight’s Dinner Idea
After a chilly day outside, warm up with a hearty baked pasta or pot roast—comfort food that’ll have your kitchen cozy and inviting. Finish with hot chocolate for dessert. You’ll want a good cast iron skillet for searing that roast, and an electric kettle makes quick work of heating water for cocoa. Did you know you can order groceries on Amazon? Get everything you need for tonight’s dinner delivered straight to your door.
Next Few Days
Monday brings that warming trend with mostly sunny skies and near 61°F. By Tuesday, expect continued pleasant conditions as we head into the Vikings Draft Party at U.S. Bank Stadium on Thursday and the Timberwolves playoff game at Target Center the same day. Spring is finally here—enjoy it while you can!
