There is a little bit of a chill to the air as we get started on this Thursday, but will once again warm well above average by this afternoon with sunshine expected across most of Southern Minnesota. Highs are expected to be in the upper 50s and lower 60s with winds out of the south at 5-10 mph. We then stay mild tonight with lows in the middle and upper 30s helping climb even higher for Friday when I think all of us will hit at least the middle 60s with a couple of lower 70s possible in Southwestern Minnesota.

The weekend is looking cooler but also dry and above average for the middle of November. Saturday will start with cloud cover but we clear out as the day goes on with highs in the lower to middle 50s and overnight low dipping into the upper 20s. Sunday is cooler yet with highs in the upper 40s and we will continue that cooling trend into next week with Monday having a chance of rain in the afternoon and highs in the lower to middle 40s. Quiet conditions return for the middle of the week, but stay right around or just under normal with highs through Wednesday of next week in the lower 40s.

Good Wednesday morning!! There have been reports of the Northern Lights visible in parts of Southern Minnesota still this morning. If you see them, please feel free to share by commenting on this post or emailing to [email protected]. If you did not get a chance to see them yet, there are indications that tonight's aurora could be even stronger as a severe geomagnetic storm continues to impact Earth.

We have a fairly wide range of temperatures this morning from the lower 30s in Southeast Minnesota, middle 30s in South Central areas and even some lower 40s in the southwest, but we should all be in the lower to middle 50s by this afternoon as we begin our mid-November warm-up that will continue into the first half of the weekend with temperatures as much as 20 degrees above normal. Temperatures tomorrow will most likely be in the middle and upper 50s before many climb into the 60s for Friday. New forecast models are bringing some of the cooler air in a bit earlier than originally thought meaning we may not hit 60 on Saturday, but it should still be very nice with highs still in the 50s with a mix of sun and clouds.

We are back in the 40s for highs by Sunday which will then carry into early parts of next week. Rainfall chances continue to get pushed back as well. As of this morning, it looks as though we may stay dry until Monday into Monday night before the system exits the area for Tuesday.

Wind is giving some added chill to the air this morning. Air temperatures are sitting in the lower to middle 30s right now, but with winds out of the south at 10-15 mph, we feel like we are starting our Tuesday in the lower to middle 20s. We are going to keep the winds around going into the afternoon as we gust up to 25 and 30 mph in some locations as clouds decrease and we aim for the upper 40s in Southeast Minnesota while south central and southwestern locations will likely crack 50 before the day is done. Tonight is looking similar when it comes to overnight lows as we fall back into the lower 30s and then climb our way back to the upper 40s and lower 50s on Wednesday under sunny skies.

All of Southern Minnesota should be in the middle 50s by Thursday with the gusty winds a thing of the past and then by Friday many of us will be at least flirting with 60 degrees with some actually making beyond that point and into the lower to middle 60s that will then hang on into Saturday before a cold front moves in later in the day bringing chances for rain Saturday night into Sunday with highs in the second half of the weekend dropping back into the 50s before get back closer to normal by early next week with highs in the middle 40s along with chances for another rain and snow mix.

The air has a little of a bite this morning as we sit in the middle and upper teens across Southern Minnesota but at least the wind has calmed down from where it was yesterday afternoon, otherwise we would be talking about some significant wind chills to start the day.

We will be warmer in many locations today as well as we top out in the lower to middle 30s which is nearly 15 degrees below average, but we are not going to stay here much longer as we only fall back into the 20s tonight and then climb into the upper 40s to lower 50s by Tuesday and Wednesday and then closer to the upper 50s to near 60 by Friday.

Overnight lows will also stay warmer starting tomorrow night ranging from the upper 20s to middle 30s across the area with the next five days looking quiet and dry thanks to an area of high pressure being in control.

An early look at the weekend is showing even warmer air for Saturday with highs in the 60s across the board, but that is also going to be our next chance for some rain which then carries into Sunday as a cold front moves through and drops our temperatures into the upper 40s and lower 50s.

11/07/2025

We have a mild start for our Finally Friday as we sit in the upper 30s and lower 40s across Southern Minnesota ahead of some big changes that are coming our way for the weekend. A cold front is approaching from the west which is going to drop our temperatures below normal with highs in the 30s both Saturday and Sunday along with a chance of some light snow for the first half of the weekend. Overall, it looks like any accumulations will be a half inch or less and it is not going to stick around long as daytime highs will be above freezing by tomorrow afternoon and the ground is still not cold enough to sustain a constant snowpack.

That being said, Sunday is going to be cold with highs around the freezing point for many with overnight lows on either side dropping into the upper teens before we start to warm back up for early next week. Monday will feature sunshine and highs in the upper 30s before Tuesday gets us back into the middle 50s which then looks to hang on through the middle of the week.

***Breaking News***

11/06/2025

We should be a little bit warmer for our Thursday than we were yesterday as temperatures climb their way into the middle 50s, but there are going to be many cases where it may not feel like it because it also going to be breezy across Southern Minnesota with winds gusting from the south at 35-40 mph. We keep some stronger winds around into the evening as we only fall into the lower 40s which will then allow for a decent Friday with warmer temperatures than originally expected in the lower 50s.

From there though, changes are on the way we will likely stay in the 30s for Saturday with a chance of light snow in the morning transitioning to rain later in the day. It will then be cold Saturday night with lows in the middle teens before temperatures only make their way into the lower 30s on Sunday.

We will not stay in the freezer long though as we get back into the upper 30s by Monday with many parts of the region back in the lower 50s by Tuesday and Wednesday.

11/05/2025

It is another comfortable morning across Southern Minnesota as we wake up to temperatures ranging from the upper 30s to middle 40s and our sights set on reaching the lower to middle 50s this afternoon with sunshine continuing to hang around with us. It is also going to be breezy in some areas today, especially South Central and Southeast Minnesota, with gusts out of the northwest at up 35 mph. The southwest corner of the state though will see lighter winds at around 5-15 mph.

Tonight will be cooler compared to where we are right now as we fall back into the lower 30s for many before then rebounding into the lower to middle 50s for Thursday but gusty winds are going to be with us once again as we get up to 35 mph.

We start cooling down on Friday with highs in the upper 40s along with a mix of sun and clouds. Rain chances will move in for Friday night in Southwest Minnesota before we fall into the middle 20s overnight leading to a chance of a rain and snow mix on Saturday with highs only reaching the upper 30s and overnight lows likely in the upper teens. Chances for some light snow will also stick around through the evening.

Sunday looks even colder with highs only getting into the lower 30s and we will likely stay there for early parts of next week before climbing back into the 40s by Tuesday.

11/04/2025

Tuesday is going to shape up to be a beautiful November day after we work our way out of the 30s which should happen fairly quickly once the sun comes up. By this afternoon, we are going to look for plenty of sunshine with highs in the lower 60s across much of Southern Minnesota before we once again fall back into the 30s tonight.

Wednesday is looking nice as well, just a bit cooler with more wind. Highs in the middle 50s and northwest winds gusting up to 25 mph but the sun hangs around with us until Thursday when more clouds will start to build in even stronger winds as we gust up to 30 mph out of the south.

Cooler air filters in for the end of the week with highs Friday in the upper 40s. Lower 40s with a rain and snow mix possible on Saturday and then lower to middle 30s for Sunday.

11/03/2025

All is quiet across Southern Minnesota and the Midwest on this Monday morning as we sit in the middle 30s and lower 40s across the area with winds out of the west at 5-10 mph putting a slight wind chill on us to start the day.

Once we get to daylight, we will see plenty of sunshine with a fall-like feel for the afternoon with highs in the middle 50s to near 60 in some areas with that warmth looking to hang around into Tuesday before we start to cool back down to around normal for the middle of the week.

We are also looking to stay dry through the week with our next chance for rainfall not coming until Saturday with some locations potentially seeing some snow mixing in at times as highs fall into the middle 40s to start the weekend and end up in the upper 30s by Sunday.

Happy Halloween!!
