MN weather: Mild Monday into November by Friday

Hi everybody, happy Tuesday. It's meteorologist Erica Marazic with the latest check of your forecasts. Nice, mild, warm day today. It was also warm and mild on Monday and throughout the weekend, but changes are on the way with the temperatures. It is going to be cooler and it will start to feel more like November. by Thursday and Friday. So that's what you have on the way. Right now, though, still pretty quiet, high pressure center towards the south. There's this quick moving clipper system, though, out towards the west and the Dakotas. And this is going to bring some very light rain showers to the area tonight into early on Wednesday morning. So the rain right now kind of filtering in from the west from North Dakota, and that'll keep moving eastward. Throughout the overnight, staying mostly along and north of 94 and then not much rain expected, just only a couple hundredths of an inch. So just really light showers are going to be spotty. It's not for everybody, but there is that chance that you could wake up with some wet roads during your morning commutes on Wednesday. Today, beautiful day. There were some more clouds that filtered in throughout the afternoon, but still warm. 61 for the high temperature. And then I want to talk about this morning low of 38. This was above average, but this morning low temperature that we had today is going to be very similar to your afternoon high temperatures on Thursday and Friday. So that just kind of paints the picture of what it's going to feel like later this week as temperatures do drop to below average with those highs. Across the state today, though, a whole lot of 50s and 60s, even popping 62 in Red Wing. Check out La Crosse, 63. So it was a warm one for those especially further towards the south. And then right now it's about 7.30 p.m. on your Tuesday. And the temperature is dropping to 56 in the Twin Cities. And then outside of the metro, it's mostly 40s. And then you do have a couple 30s up north, 39 International Falls and Hibbing. Ely at 35 as the chilliest area and then in the Twin Cities low tonight going to be about 42 degrees and then outside of the metro could be slightly cooler. Your wind is still from the south, but after that clipper moves through your wind is going to shift direction. So it's going to be then from the north starting tomorrow. So that northerly wind is what's going to funnel in that cooler air throughout your Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. But right now breezes light still from the south temperature 56 degrees low is going to be 40. So Pretty mild and then tomorrow afternoon it looks like highs are only going to increase to the 50s. So overnight tonight you might see one or two raindrops and then during the day tomorrow things should dry out. Temperatures look to warm up to 50 and then by Thursday, Friday they may only warm up to the upper 30s, low 40s. So that's only a little bit below average but it's a big change from what your high temperatures have been lately in those low 60s. So that's just why it's going to feel so much cooler at the end of the week. But the good news is if you don't like the cool weather, it's only going to stay chilly for a short time period by the weekend. Temperatures increase again and highs do return to the 40s and then potentially to the 50s next week. So overnight tonight, a few light showers possible. Cloudy skies passing on through clouds will clear out throughout tomorrow. 51 degrees for that high temperature, pretty mild and staying quiet during the evening on Wednesday. 41 is your temperature for later. in the evening. And then after that, the temperatures continue to drop about 10 degrees. So by Thursday, high temperature is going to be upper 30s, low 40s for some southward. And then for Friday, still kind of same thing. So it'll be cool, but at least you have those sunny skies for the end of the week. And then sunny conditions look to stick around throughout the weekend, too, with some passing clouds at the end of the seven-day forecast and temperatures that are eventually going to get warmer. So after a cool end to the week with 30s, overnight lows, 20s, you do find your way back to the 50s and you have some mild conditions by the time you get to about Monday or Tuesday. Hope you all have a great rest of your Tuesday.
