Description

One more push of unseasonable warmth is settling in this weekend, sending highs into the 40s and 50s and running a solid 10 to 15 degrees above what late November typically delivers.

Sunny, mild and breezy

We’ll see some rare November sunshine for an extended stretch this weekend as high pressure delivers what may be one last nice weekend of the season.

High temperatures on Saturday will reach the 40s in the north, with mild 50s in the south.

Temperatures will remain mild into Monday before a big cooldown is expected around the Thanksgiving holiday. A cold front will move in Tuesday afternoon and keep temperatures cooler into early December. Highs are expected to stay below freezing on Thanksgiving, with overnight lows in the teens.

Our next system will begin as rain showers Monday, and as cooler air moves in, precipitation is expected to change to snow Tuesday. It is too early to predict snowfall amounts, but models indicate central and northern Minnesota could see some light accumulation.
