Minneapolis–St. Paul is kicking off June with partly sunny skies and a high near 80°F today — once the last of this morning’s scattered showers clear out, the rest of the day looks genuinely comfortable and worth getting outside for.
Today’s Setup
A few light showers are still lingering over parts of the metro early this morning, but the National Weather Service expects that activity to fizzle by late morning as a high pressure system drops south from the Hudson Bay region. By midday, skies brighten to partly sunny, temps climb toward 80°F, and the ESE breeze stays calm around 5 mph. The rain chance is just 9% — essentially a non-factor by afternoon. Keep the umbrella in the car for the morning commute, then forget about it.
Best Window To Be Outside
Late morning through sunset is wide open. This is a legit golf day — get out to Braemar Golf Course, Purgatory Creek, or your local favorite. A golf bag stand lightweight is all you need to roll, and if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your equipment for the summer season, a Pinemeadow Golf complete set is worth a look. If the backyard is on the agenda, tonight is equally ideal for firing up the grill or just sitting on the patio.
Twins at Target Field: Three Straight vs. the White Sox
The Minnesota Twins host the Chicago White Sox at Target Field on June 1, June 2, and June 3. Tonight’s game conditions look comfortable — temps ease into the upper 60s by first pitch and drop to around 58°F by late evening, so bring a light layer for the later innings. A Minnesota Twins jersey and a Minnesota Twins fitted cap are the right call for any night of the series. You can Get tickets on SeatGeek or Find tickets on StubHub for remaining seats. Wednesday night (June 3) is the one to watch: the NWS is flagging widespread rain arriving late Wednesday evening, which could affect that series finale — keep an eye on the radar.
Grill Night Is a Go
Perfect grilling weather calls for burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob. An instant-read meat thermometer keeps everything cooked right, and a grill brush and scraper set keeps your grates clean between rounds. With Father’s Day coming up fast, a Father’s Day grilling set is a solid gift idea to float while you’ve got the grill going. If the warm weather has you thinking about the lakes, check out this 2-Person Intex Float with Built-In Cooler for just $24 — a steal for any of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes. Need ingredients for tonight? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
Tuesday (June 2) is the pick of the week: sunny, near 84°F, zero percent rain chance, and a light southeast wind of 5–10 mph. Wednesday climbs to near 85°F but turns rainy late — the National Weather Service is forecasting widespread rainfall arriving Wednesday evening and continuing through Thursday. Plan your big outdoor moves for Tuesday and early Wednesday morning. Further out, above-normal temperatures are expected to linger into mid-June, with highs potentially approaching 90°F early next week.
