Where's spring? Minnesota's winter just keeps bruising along
From southwest to northeast Minnesota, Thursday's icy sting made spring seem a long way off.

More March-Like Weather on the Way This Week
Is this a symptom of El Nino? Yes, more than likely. Will we ever get snow? Yes, more than likely. I'm just waiting for the other boot to drop. The sun returns today with 40s (and possibly 50F again) by midweek. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Slick Roads Possible Saturday Due To Some Snow
A several-hour burst of snow will move in Saturday, dumping enough in the metro (~1", isolated 2") to coat everything white for a few days and cause some slick roads with 30 mph gusts. Cold sunshine returns Sunday with low 30s for highs. - D.J. Jayser

Record High Possible Friday Before A Saturday Burst Of Snow
Highs will near records once again Friday in the metro with more clouds than sunshine and blustery southwest winds. That's ahead of a system that'll bring up to an inch of snow across the state Friday Night into Saturday. - D.J. Kayser

A String of 40s Likely This Week
The sun should peek out today and a significant warming trend arrives midweek with more 40s, even an outside shot at 50F close to home Thursday. It should be mild enough for rain showers Friday as cooler air returns. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Snow Drought Continues Until Further Notice
A clipper may kick up a few flakes tonight. Next weekend's snowy opportunities have evaporated with a storm tracking south of Minnesota once again. Get used to it. It may become a habit much of December. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

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

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

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
