A sunny Saturday is on tap for our first November weekend. The sunshine will eventually give way to clouds, and the forecast shows several chances for rain ahead.
Clouds will be thickening Saturday night, with rain showers developing late. Expect rainy conditions on Sunday, with temperatures hovering above the seasonal average of 50 degrees.
Expect cloudy skies with sporadic rain showers for our Sunday. Breezy winds out of the south-southeast 10-20 mph. This week, temperatures will stay above the seasonal average, reaching the 50s.
Temperatures will trend upwards for Sunday evening into early Monday morning. A cold front moving eastward from the Dakotas will bring a chance of rain showers on Monday. Look for above-average temperatures this week with highs in the lower to mid-50s.
A cold front marching through the region pushes scattered showers and a few thunderstorms eastward across Wisconsin through Monday morning and into the afternoon. Rain chances return from the south overnight and spill into a wet Tuesday.
Rain showers will begin moving in from southern Minnesota early Tuesday, marking the arrival of the last low pressure system before a drier pattern sets in from Wednesday through Friday. Expect highs in the mid-40s on Tuesday, with temperatures gradually warming to the low 50s by Friday.
Dense fog is expected early Wednesday morning, reducing visibility to less than one-quarter of a mile at times. Spotty sunshine will break through with mainly dry conditions. A pleasant warming trend will follow with temperatures reaching the mid-50s by Friday.
Another morning of dense fog that will dissipate, paving the way for sunny skies Thursday. Gentle breezes with temperatures expected to reach the upper 40s, close to 50 degrees.
Minnesota's drought conditions are showing signs of improvement. Recent rounds of rainfall have helped alleviate some of the dryness, with a few areas seeing a reduction in drought severity.
A major November snow system has dumped tremendous snow in Colorado. The same system brings mainly rain to Minnesota this weekend.
Some rare November sunshine is on tap for our Friday. Temperatures continue to trend above our seasonal average with highs in the 50s expected. Our next weather system will bring some intermittent, light rain showers for the weekend.
Cloudy skies are expected, with intermittent showers and drizzle from this afternoon through Sunday morning. Temperatures will remain at or above seasonal averages.
Rain chances will increase Saturday night into Sunday morning, on the backside of a low pressure system as it moves towards the Great Lakes region. Precipitation amounts of between a tenth and a quarter of an inch are possible.
Cloudy skies and scattered showers will persist into Sunday morning as a low-pressure system tracks from southeastern Minnesota into central Wisconsin. Temperatures will cool briefly to seasonal averages on Monday, followed by a warm-up and breezy winds as the week wraps up.
Expect lingering cloud cover into Sunday night, with northwesterly winds picking up. A dry cold front will pass through, causing temperatures to dip slightly on Monday. After that, a pleasant warming trend is expected through the end of the work week.
Chilly high pressure has settled in behind the weekend system. High temperatures will be cooler Monday and Tuesday, but near normal. The next chance of rain develops Wednesday.
November has started off wetter than usual, with several weather systems moving through since the Halloween rain and snow event. Despite the much needed rainfall, we continue to see precipitation deficits since early September.
Our next weather system on Wednesday looks arm enough for rain. A good soaking is likely across much of Minnesota.
We’ll have another day of cool sunshine Tuesday. The next system will develop rain showers for Wednesday. Temperatures will be warming up by Friday and Saturday.
Showers will affect much of the state today, though the bulk of the rainfall will be in central and southwest Minnesota. Clouds linger into Thursday followed by milder air Friday.
