MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Expect a sunny and slightly breezy Monday before clouds increase later in the day. 

Monday’s forecast in Minnesota 

What to expect:

Temperatures in parts of central and southwestern Minnesota will reach the lower 50s while the rest of the state will see highs in the 30s and 40s. The Twin Cities metro daytime high is 49 degrees.

Expect solid sunshine for much of the state on Monday, though clouds will gradually increase from the south and west later in the day due to a clipper system moving by. Winds will be a bit calmer, with a northwesterly breeze at 10-15 mph.
