Minneapolis. There are wildfires burning in northern Minnesota right now, and a Red Flag Warning is active across fifteen counties.
Here's the practical part. Sixty-seven degrees sounds pleasant, but add cloud cover and a steady east wind and it runs cooler than that number suggests.
For the commute, both morning and evening carry some risk of a sudden shower. Roads will be fine in dry conditions, but if a cell rolls through, it can get slick fast.

The city's in that classic late-May pattern where spring hasn't fully made up its mind. Some cloud, some wind, a chance of something wet.
