MN weather: Bright, mild Tuesday before cooldown

Good morning. Welcome to your Tuesday. I'm meteorologist Cody Mass. We'll look at that forecast. Nice and quiet once again. It will be a bright day overall. Clouds will increase late in the afternoon. It's the last of our mild days, at least for a little while. As our next clipper system rockets its way through, that's going to scoop by us pretty harmless. Maybe a few spritzes and sprinkles, but it's going to drag in much colder air. And there's a big pattern change coming across North America. You can see it here on the upcoming cool down. Green temperatures indicate fairly mild temperatures overall, certainly been above average. But watch the cool air kind of surge out of sections of central and southern Canada straight through the upper Midwest, the Great Lakes and a lot of the eastern half to two thirds of the country. That's probably going to make national news because. The East Coast will be a little chilly. Parts of Florida could get in the upper 30s for overnight lows, which usually makes national headlines. Around here, we're going to be seasonable-ish. Maybe slightly below average, but that either way leads to much cooler temperatures. So forecast, nice and quiet through the day on Tuesday, increasing clouds from the west by the end of the day, which should be a very nice day overall. Clipper system passes by, scoots some light little drips along and just north of 94, maybe squeeze a couple of spritzes and sprinkles in the metro early Wednesday morning. And then northerly flow kicks in, patchy sunshine on Wednesday, quiet, cooler. And then cooler still once we get into Thursday, it will be quite chilly. Nothing unusual for the middle part of November, but a few degrees below average. And about 20 to 25 degrees cooler than what we're expecting on your Tuesday. So widespread 50s, some pocket low 60s across the south. We'll go just shy of 60 this afternoon here in the metro with some late-day clouds arriving from the west. Clipper system passes by. Most of us stay in the upper 30s and low 40s tonight with a couple little spritzes and sprinkles. And that will lead to a cooler day on Wednesday. Highs low 50s in the metro, 30s in northern Minnesota. And that's where the metro is headed as we get into your Thursday and Friday, or 40-ish. Give or take both days, but at least we'll come with some sunshine. Nice rebound this weekend. 50s return next week.
