A Chilly, Drama-Free Thanksgiving Holiday
A little light rain dribbles out of a stale cloud deck this morning, but skies dry out after lunch. Wednesday looks nice with sunshine and upper 40s. A colder wind whips up Thanksgiving Day, but the sun should be shining. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson
Cooler For Thanksgiving Week With Minimal Precipitation Chances
Some areas of the state will see drizzle or light rain on Monday - otherwise, it's shaping up to be a mostly quiet holiday week for travel, shopping, and eating some turkey. 40s are expected for highs through Wednesday, with 30s for Thanksgiving and next weekend. - D.J. Kayser
Clouds Slowly Increase Sunday - Cooler Into Thanksgiving Week
We'll see one more day in the 50s on Sunday with slowly increasing cloud cover. Some rain (or a mix) is possible Monday Night, otherwise it'll be a quiet week of weather for travel with dropping highs. Thanksgiving highs may only be around freezing, with 20s for Black Friday. - D.J. Kayser

More Clouds Than Sun This Weekend - Slight Snow Chance Saturday Night
A mostly quiet weekend is ahead, even as we track the potential for a few flurries Saturday Night/early Sunday in the metro (with maybe an inch of snow in southeastern Minnesota). This weekend will feature more clouds than sun with highs in the upper 30s. - D.J. Kayser

Northern Lights Possible Thursday Night - Clouds Increase Friday
Cloud cover will be on the increase as we head through Friday, with a cloudy weekend expected. Highs through the first few days of December will be in the mid/upper 30s before a warm up into the 40s occurs later next week. - D.J. Kayser

Quiet Weather Continues With A Sunny Thursday
It won't be as warm Thursday as it was Wednesday in the metro despite still being under sunny skies. Clouds will increase as we head toward Friday and the weekend with some snow showers possible Saturday Night. - D.J. Kayser

40s And Mostly Dry Into Mid-December?
Embrace 40s today with a few 50s over southwest Minnesota, in fact daytime highs may poke into the 40s late next week. I see dry weather into the weekend, with only a slight chance of slush next Monday from a clipper. Amazingly quiet out there for the time being. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Very Little Weather Drama In Sight
Yesterday was probably the coldest day for the next 2 weeks. Low 40s Wednesday will feel good, and ECMWF is hinting at a string of 40s late next week. December will start on a very temperate (tame) note, weatherwise. No headline-worthy snowstorms brewing, but a weak disturbance may spread a little slushy snow into town Saturday night and Sunday. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Driving On Snow Is A Winter Artform
No big storms in sight into at least mid-December. Another southern system may brush us with a little slush on Saturday night, but the pattern isn't favorable for white-knuckle commutes. In fact daytime highs may top 40F next weekend - I could see a string of 40s the first week of December. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Data Seems To Favor An "Easier Winter"
A clipper arrives today with decorative flurries and winds gusting to 30mph. A week from today: a little rain. An easy winter? Probably easier than most. It would be premature to lower your guard anytime soon. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

I'd Like A New Doppler For Christmas
Clouds may leak a little "snow" on our heads later today as a storm tracks to our south. A clipper squeezes outa little slush tomorrow. Maybe a half inch? Breaking. News. I see very little snow, with a mild bias continuing. A few 40s in early December? Yep. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Cold Start For Black Friday Shopping - Flurries Sunday?
Quiet weather continues to dominate here through the rest of the extended holiday weekend, with only the chance of a few flurries on Sunday. Highs Friday through the weekend will be in the low to mid-30s. - D.J. Kayser

Quiet Weather For Thanksgiving Day Travel
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm not tracking any major weather across the state for Thanksgiving - nor for the rest of the holiday weekend - with highs from the upper 20s to low 30s expected. Mainly sunny skies are expected Thursday and Friday, with more clouds this weekend. - D.J. Kayser

Giving Thanks For A Colder, Quieter Climate
We may hit 50F today with bright sunshine, before colder air arrives on Thanksgiving. Dry weather lingers into Saturday, but a coating of very light snow is possible Sunday. A nuisance snow. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Not Much To Complain About This Weekend - Colder In Time For Thanksgiving
Highs will climb back into the low 50s both Saturday and Sunday in the metro, with mainly sunny conditions to begin the weekend but a few more clouds to end it. We'll watch a system bring rain/mixed precipitation Monday Night, then highs only in the 20s for Thanksgiving. - D.J. Kayser

Much Cooler Friday Under Sunny Skies - 20s For Thanksgiving?
After three days in the 60s for highs, it's going to be a bit cooler Friday as we only reach the low 40s under sunshine. We rebound to the low 50s this weekend, but another system brings in much cooler air later next week - chilly 20s for Thanksgiving festivities. - D.J. Kayser

Warm, Windy Thursday With A Cold Front Moving In
Enjoy one last day in the 60s in the metro on Thursday with more blustery winds! A cold front moving through during the afternoon hours will drop temperatures back to the 40s for Friday before we warm back to near 50F this weekend. Even cooler air moves in for Thanksgiving week. - D.J. Kayser

Meteorologists Know When They're Wrong
Expect light winds and blue sky today with 50s, but 60s return Thursday, with winds gusting to 40 mph. We cool off Friday with sunshine and highs near 50F this weekend. I don't see any accumulating snow through Thanksgiving Day. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Unseasonably Mild Weather Into Thursday
Focus on the here and now: beautiful, postcard-worthy sunshine all week with a shot at 60s today and Thursday before waves of chilly air burble southward. Is this autumn's last hurrah? It sure looks like it. But it was nice while it lasted. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

More Early October Than Mid-November
Winds ease today (still too nice to rake leaves) with temperatures 15-25F above average into Thursday. Take full advantage of this week because next week will bring a reality check, with rain possibly ending as slushy snow one week from today. Yes, it will be cold enough for slush within next week and ECMWF guidance shows highs in the 30s by late November. 30s above zero. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

A Mild Week - Winter Delayed Once Again
Here comes a warm front that would feel right at home in early October, with 50s into Thursday. The best chance of topping 60? Tuesday and Thursday; 20F warmer than average. Wow. No big storms of any flavor in sight - I see a little rain Thanksgiving Week. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

October Stages A Comeback Next Week
A passing shower or sprinkle is possible today, but a rare sunshine sighting is expected Sunday, with an unusual number of sunny days next week as temperatures surge into the 50s. A few days of 60-degree readings are possible by midweek, especially south and west of the Twin Cities; roughly 15-20F above average. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Very November-Like Friday Ahead - Shots At 60F Next Week
It'll be a cloudy and cool Friday in the metro - very much like November out there. Sunnier skies return for the second half of the weekend, and we'll also see warmer temperatures arrive. 60F is possible for a high next Tuesday-Thursday. - D.J. Kayser
