Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, November 5, 2026 — The Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area can expect a shift towards drier weather conditions starting today, according to meteorologist Ken Barlow. Following today’s weather, the region is slated for sunshine to extend throughout the upcoming weekend.
A notable aspect of the current forecast is the potential for the Twin Cities to experience its first freeze of the season. This significant weather event is tentatively predicted to occur on either Friday or Saturday morning. If a freeze does materialize on these dates, it would mark a historically late arrival for the season’s initial freezing temperatures in the area.
Meteorologist Ken Barlow’s projection indicates a departure from recent weather patterns, with drier air expected to dominate. The outlook for sunshine suggests clear skies for outdoor activities planned for Saturday and Sunday. However, residents should be aware of the possibility of temperatures dropping to freezing levels, particularly during the overnight and early morning hours on Friday and Saturday.
Further details regarding the specific timing and expected temperature lows for the potential freeze were not provided. The information available focuses on the general trend of drier conditions and the possibility of a late first freeze event.
