Weekend weather: Seasonal temps; rain, snow chances in northern Minnesota

We’ll see some fairly typical November weather this weekend.

The average Nov. 4 Twin Cities high temperature is 48 degrees. Metro area highs will be in the mid to upper 40s on Saturday.

High temps Saturday afternoon will range from 30s in northern Minnesota to lower 50s in parts of southwestern Minnesota:

Sunday highs will range from 30s in northern Minnesota to 50s in much of the southern third of Minnesota:

I wouldn’t be surprised to see parts of the south Twin Cities metro area reach the lower 50s Sunday.

Precipitation chances

Forecast models show a chance of patchy snow showers or a patchy rain-snow mix in northern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin on Saturday, with a few scattered rain showers possible in central Minnesota.

Periods of mainly rain are expected in northern Minnesota on Sunday, with a rain-snow mix or all snow at times in the far north.

Southern and central Minnesota could see some rain at times Sunday night, with a rain-snow mix or mainly snow to the north.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s North American Mesoscale forecast model shows the potential precipitation pattern from 7 p.m. Saturday to 6 p.m. Sunday:

You can hear updated weather information for Minnesota and western Wisconsin on the MPR News network. Also check out the MPR News display of National Weather Service radar.

Daylight saving time ends

Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, so any clocks or time displays (on stoves etc.) that don’t automatically adjust to standard time should be set back one hour Saturday night.

Sunset in the Twin Cities will be at 4:56 p.m. Central Standard Time this Sunday. Those earlier sunset times always take awhile to get used to!
