Another mild day in Minnesota Wednesday before temperatures start to fall
The Twin Cities will have another mild day Wednesday before things turn colder.
Clouds and winds will increase through the afternoon, and spotty showers will move in after dinner and wrap up overnight.
Thursday will start out dry, but upper-level energy will bring a round of snow showers into the afternoon. Temperatures will fall all day, from the upper 30s in the morning to near 20 by dinner, with overnight lows approaching zero. Southwestern Minnesota could see wind gusts up to 60 mph, while northern Minnesota may be under blizzard conditions.
Friday will start out calm and quiet for all, but another fast clipper may throw a few snow showers across northern Minnesota in the evening. Temperatures will rebound into the 20s late in the day and stay there into Saturday before another dip into the single digits by Sunday.
Models show the potential for a few low-impact clippers over the weekend and early next week.
Temperatures look like they'll stay below freezing through next week, keeping the chances of a white Christmas high.
