Discussion
Issued at 142 AM CDT Thu Oct 29 2026
The cold front and its associated upper level trough responsible for the showers/thunderstorms on Wednesday is now well east of the WFO MPX coverage area, with appreciable cold and dry air advection on going behind it for the Upper Midwest. Temperatures will bottom out in the lower 30s to lower 40s this morning followed by highs only topping out in the upper 40s to upper 50s. While this is still above normal for late October, this is obviously cooler than the temperatures experienced yesterday despite plentiful sunshine for today. Similar temperatures are expected on Friday with the same high pressure airmass shifting east across the area through late day Friday. The western extent of the departing cold front, located over the Central Plains, will push northward a bit Friday night through Saturday, bringing rain on Saturday for mainly southern MN but potentially as far north as an Alexandria-Mora line. No thunderstorms are expected, just scattered to numerous rain showers.
A better chance for rain still looks to come Monday into Tuesday as a system develops over the lee of the Rockies into CO/KS. However, with models still projecting a generally straight easterly track, this will keep the center of the system south of MN/WI but still thrust a large precipitation shield to its north across our coverage area for Monday through Tuesday, resulting in a persistent soaking rainfall out of high moisture content and strong isentropic lift. In addition, guidance continues to tamp down temperatures from getting too far over normal. Highs Sunday-Monday will range in the upper 50s to mid 60s as this system moves across the region. Behind it, highs will return to the 50s for the middle of next week along with less active weather.
Aviation
Issued at 526 AM CDT Thu Oct 29 2026
Solid VFR conditions expected throughout this duration for all sites. High pressure passing overhead will produce SKC conditions for nearly the entire period, aside from potentially some passing high cirrus. Winds will come from the NW 5-10kts through dusk later today then go light/variable tonight into Friday morning.
KMSP: No additional concerns.
/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/ SAT: Chance MVFR/-RA. Wind SE 5-10kts. SUN: VFR. Wind SE 5-10kts. MON: MVFR/-RA likely, mainly P.M. Wind SE 10-15kts.
