Minnesota weather: Beautiful sunshine to start Easter weekend
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Across the state, sunshine will be in abundance Saturday with high temperatures that will be just shy of seasonable in the mid-50s.
Saturday forecast
What to expect:
Saturday will be sunny and quiet with seasonable temperatures throughout the day.
Some light wind will keep temperatures cooler even with the sun.
The Twin Cities will have a high of 56 degrees, while the rest of the state will have high temperatures in the mid to low 50s and some 40s in northern Minnesota.
Easter forecast and beyond
What’s next:
On Easter Sunday our pattern changes again as April showers are back in store for portions of the state.
The day will still start off with sunshine statewide with high temperatures climbing to the low 60s.
Morning and early afternoon activities will remain dry, but from the south, cloud cover will increase with the chance of rain showers by late afternoon. Rain showers will mainly impact the southeastern portion of the state, including the metro, with up to half an inch of rain, and isolated accumulations of over an inch possible.
Next week, we continue an active pattern. Monday morning rain showers will come to an end during the pre-dawn hours and sunshine will make its return.
However, several rounds of rain will be monitored throughout the week. As for temperatures, an April-like trend will hold seasonable conditions with the upper 50s to 60s expected.

Ellison, Minneapolis, St. Paul update lawsuit against Operation Metro Surge with new data
(ABC 6 News) – Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minneapolis and Saint Paul updated their lawsuit over Operation Metro Surge with new survey data on economic harm.
Researchers at the University of California San Diego conducted two surveys tied to the amended lawsuit. The lawsuit says the federal operation violated the Constitution and caused lasting economic damage.
The first survey was done between February and March and included nearly 1,400 residents. It found workers lost more than $240 million in wages during the operation.
A separate newly released survey of about 900 businesses found more than $600 million in lost revenue. The updated lawsuit from Keith Ellison and the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul adds that new data to its claims.
