Here is your Sunday evening forecast for October 27, 2024 from the Minnesota Weather Service and Meteorologist Matt Serwe.

Even though it’s late October, it’s rare to see record highs in the Twin Cities in the 70s. That’s exactly what we have Monday and Tuesday, and we could be close to those records. Southerly winds gust to 25 to 35 mph at times on Monday, and that sends highs into the mid-70s. Monday’s record is 75° set in 1948. Winds ease a bit Tuesday, but we remain on the warm side of a stalling front . Highs could approach 80° from the Twin Cities south. Tuesday’s record is 78° set in 1922.

Once a wave moves on that front Tuesday night, we start to see some changes. Rain and a few thunderstorms are likely Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. When you wake up in the metro on Wednesday, temperatures could be near 70°. By afternoon, make sure you have a jacket because temperatures are in the 50s. That means Halloween will also be on the cooler side. Expect trick-or-treat temperatures in the low 40s in the Twin Cities and 30s across the rest of the state. At least it will be dry with light winds, so put an extra layer on the kids’ suits.
