Minneapolis, MN – Minnesota will be plunged into mid-winter conditions early next week as Arctic air pours south from Canada, sending temperatures into the teens and even single digits across the northern part of the state. According to the NOAA Weather Prediction Center, a powerful cold front will move through Monday, November 10, bringing subfreezing temperatures, brisk winds, and light snow showers through Tuesday morning, November 11.
Forecast lows are expected to reach 17°F in Minneapolis, 14°F in Rochester, and 12°F in Duluth, with single digits possible in International Falls and the Iron Range, where wind chills may fall below zero overnight. Northwest winds of 25–35 mph will make conditions feel sharply colder, especially across open areas.
The National Weather Service offices in Duluth and the Twin Cities have issued freeze and wind chill advisories across much of Minnesota. Light snow accumulations of less than an inch are possible in northern counties as the Arctic front passes.
According to the Weather Prediction Center’s Day 3–7 Hazards Outlook, Minnesota lies directly beneath the coldest core of a massive “Frost/Freeze” corridor spanning from the Great Lakes to the Deep South. Forecasters say this surge of Arctic air will be one of the most widespread November cold waves in recent years.
Tuesday’s highs will struggle to reach 25°F in the north and 30°F in southern Minnesota, nearly 25 degrees below average. Another frigid morning is likely Wednesday before a slow midweek warm-up.
Residents are urged to dress in layers, protect pipes and pets, and use caution on icy roads, particularly during the Tuesday morning commute.
