Here’s your Saturday evening forecast for October 4, 2025 from Meteorologist Matt Serwe.
This is a quick rundown of all the record highs today, and the previous records:
TODAYPREVIOUS RECORDTwin Cities: 91°89° (1922)Rochester: 86°84° (2005)St. Cloud: 90°88° (1922)Brainerd: 85°82° (2011)Duluth: 84°83° (1922)Hibbing: 84°78° (2011)International Falls: 85°82° (2011)
The trade-off on Sunday is not as hot, but stronger winds. This is not ideal for marathon runners or their supporters lining the route. However, I think the lack of humidity means we do not have to worry about the race getting black flagged.
Temperatures at the start of the race will be in the low 70s, and climb to about 80° by midday. South winds will gust 30-40 mph through the whole race. Expect sun to start, then more clouds toward the end of the race.
I already mentioned the dry air on Sunday. There is a small chance for a spotty shower early Sunday afternoon as a cold front pushes across the state, but they will be fighting the dry air. Later in the afternoon and into the evening, I expect a few more showers and t-showers from the Twin Cities to the east.
Behind this front is what many of us have been waiting for: ACTUAL FALL WEATHER! Highs drop into the mid and upper 60s Monday and Tuesday. They will climb into the low 70s through the second half of the week, but we do get crisp mornings worthy of sweaters and hoodies.
