MINNEAPOLIS — Temperatures were well above average on Sunday as highs soared to the low 80s.
Sunday marks the 30th consecutive day without measurable rain at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport — the fourth longest streak without rain recorded there.
So far in the Twin Cities, this fall has been the warmest and driest on record. The average temperature this fall is 65.2 degrees while the previous record was 64.6 degrees in 2021. There has only been 0.06 inches of precipitation this fall, beating the record of 0.40 inches set in 2022.
Not only has this fall in the Twin Cities been incredibly dry, but it's been really warm too. In fact, fall 2024 to date has been the warmest & driest on record. Today will follow suit with sunshine & near-record highs in the low 80s. @WCCO pic.twitter.com/W5ocowvtpE

The dry, warm weather will continue into Monday with highs expected to reach the low 80s.
Tuesday will feature temperatures in the mid-70s before a weak front moves in going into Wednesday. That front could bring some showers, however, the chances for precipitation still look minimal.
Behind that system, temperatures will fall back into the 50s and 60s for Wednesday and beyond.
