Sunny Monday Precedes Rain and Cooler Temperatures
The weather forecast for the upcoming week indicates that sunny conditions on Monday will soon give way to rain and cooler temperatures. Meteorologist Matt Serwe highlights that Monday may be the last day for the Twin Cities to enjoy temperatures around 60°F in 2025.
Weather Overview for the Week
As October comes to a close, typical seasonal temperatures in Minnesota will be found in the upper 40s and low 50s. Monday afternoon will see the onset of light rain in western Minnesota, initially remaining west of St. Cloud.
Rain Timing and Distribution
- Monday Evening: Rain will gradually sweep east, becoming more widespread overnight.
- Tuesday Morning: The rain is expected to diminish by mid-morning.

Despite the chance for occasional rain throughout the week, it will likely remain light and sporadic. The conditions may lead to drizzle during trick-or-treating hours in Minnesota, but they should not deter families from celebrating Halloween.

Overall, individuals in the Minnesota area should prepare for shifting weather patterns as sunny conditions transition to cooler temperatures and light rain throughout the week.
