Cloudy Friday With Lingering Snow (Mainly North Of The Metro)
While I can't rule out some wrap-around flurries or snow showers for Veterans Day in the metro, most of whatever snow is left across the state will fall to our north. Otherwise it'll be a cloudy, chilly, and breezy Friday. - D.J. Kayser

Rain, Snow, And Ice To Impact Minnesota
A system pushing through the region will bring another day of rain across central and southern Minnesota Thursday, with snow and ice concerns up north. The weather will start to calm a bit into Friday, but with much chillier air in place. - D.J. Kayser

Nothing I Say Today Will Shock You
ECMWF (the European model) prints out 1-3" rain for central Minnesota (including much of the metro) by Friday. I hope it's right this time. Soak up squalls of rain, growls of thunder and 60s later this week, because 20s and 30s will be the rule next week. With a dash of snow. Check the blog to more details. -Todd Nelson

Clouds Increase Monday - Rain (And Snow) Chances Tuesday through Friday

Windy Conditions Sunday Lead To Fire Weather Concerns
We will be watching fire weather concerns on Sunday, especially down into the Minnesota River Valley, due to strong wind gusts over 35 mph and low humidity values. Some precipitation will be possible in the morning in the Arrowhead. - D.J. Kayser

Some Rain In Eastern Minnesota Saturday - Dry But Windy Sunday
Sunday will be the drier day of the weekend in the metro for any outdoor activities, as a system Saturday helps bring us some rain chances. Heavy rain, though, with that system will fall across southeastern Minnesota into Wisconsin. - D.J. Kayser

Mostly Dry Friday, But Precipitation Chance Returns Late Friday Into Saturday
We've got two rounds of precipitation we're tracking: Thursday Night into early Friday, and again late Friday into Saturday morning. Some wintry precipitation could mix in across parts of the state at times. - D.J. Kayser

One More Warm Day Thursday - Rain Possible Late Thursday Through Saturday
After record-breaking heat on Wednesday in the metro, it'll be another warm one on Thursday (though not as warm as Wednesday). A cold font moves through late in the day - that, in combo with an area of low pressure, bring rain chances for the end of the week. - D.J. Kayser

Record-Breaking November Warmth Today
After a balmy Wednesday clouds increase tomorrow with showery rain Thursday night into Friday. A storm rippling northward along a cool frontal boundary will prolong rain into Saturday. All told an inch of rain may fall later this week. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

A Handsome Halloween. Record Warmth Wednesday
We've got a very handsome Halloween shaping up this year. In fact, it could be the warmest since 2000. Sunshine and September-like warmth settles in over the next few days with records possible Wednesday. November rumbles may develop late Thursday... What month is it again? Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Extended Perfection. Dry, But Rain on the Way?
It's been hard to complain about the weather close to home this fall. Undoubtedly it has been dry, but this extended perfection will trickle into early November with near record warmth possible on Wednesday. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Dry & Mild Ahead. Feeling More Like Late September
Our astonishingly dry weather continues over the next several days with temps nearing record warmth into early next week. According to NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, warmer than average temps will continue into early November with (potentially) more active weather on the horizon. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Quiet & Warm Weather Into Early November
Those few sprinkles or showers you might have ran into Thursday? Well, that was the only precipitation chance for a while as we see dry and warm weather right through the last weekend of October, Halloween, and into November. - D.J. Kayser

Mostly Cloudy Thursday With A Few Showers Mainly North and West
Thursday will be the best chance of rain in the metro over the next week, and even then chances are low and precipitation will be very light (potentially sprinkles vs. actual showers). A sun/cloud mix is expected heading into the weekend with warmer than average temperatures. - D.J. Kayser

A Colder Snowier Winter Isn't A Sure Thing
Expect quiet weather into early next week with a gradual warming trend. Highs reach or top 60F Friday into Tuesday of next week. No Halloween Superstorms this year. Drought is expanding and intensifying. What I'd give for a muddy, dirty rain right now. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Weather Models Are Part Of The Equation
Our ration of rain is over with clearing today and a bright-blue sky returning tomorrow. 50s linger into Thursday, close to average for late October. Mild Pacific winds blow into early November, with 60s this weekend - spilling into next week. Confidence levels are high the models are correct. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Early Slush Doesn't Mean A Severe Winter
A lazy cold front squeezes out a shower today, maybe a few hours of steady rain tonight. Not nearly enough rain. No storms brewing. No more slush anytime soon. Deep breaths. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson
