It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas across Minnesota on Thanksgiving week.
Our seasonal weather pattern shift has occurred.
Gone are the balmy days of what looks like the warmest meteorological autumn on record for Minnesota. It looks like we’ll be close to 1931 for the title when the final numbers are in Sunday.
Now furnaces and jackets are back in operation across our region. The radar is showing some ghostly echoes that indicate light snow and flurries Wednesday.

We’ll see little snow accumulation across Minnesota. The best chance for a snowy coating is in the west. (See the map at the top of this post.)
Temperatures continue to run a good 10 to 15 degrees colder than normal this week. Highs on Thanksgiving Day will hover in the teens and 20s across our region.
It looks even colder on Black Friday through the holiday weekend. Highs will stall in the teens in most areas.
Overnight lows will fall to around zero in the northwest this weekend.
We could see a few more flurries on Thanksgiving Day, but for the most part travel weather around Minnesota looks pretty good this weekend.
