Minnesota – A soft gray ceiling hovers over the Twin Cities this Saturday morning as a cool breeze slides across damp sidewalks and faint drizzle lingers in the early light. Holiday travelers already filling I-94, I-35W, and Highway 62 should expect slower starts while low clouds cling stubbornly to the metro.
According to the National Weather Service Twin Cities office, temperatures rise into the mid-40s today, but moisture stays pooled near the surface. Drizzle remains possible through midmorning as winds shift gradually south. Drivers should watch for slick patches on shaded bridges and allow extra time on the freeways, especially during the midmorning push.
According to meteorologists, brighter skies build Thursday as drier air edges in. Highs climb toward 50, and visibility improves across both Minneapolis and St. Paul. This brief bump offers a valuable window for early Thanksgiving errands, leaf cleanup, or longer-distance travel before crowds increase. Models hint at a subtle “Winter Tease” late Friday as cooler air presses south from northern Minnesota, though no snow chance is expected in the metro.
According to regional transportation officials, Friday stays sunny with highs in the mid-40s and light northwest winds. These calmer conditions favor steady travel across the MSP corridor and the broader Upper Midwest. Weekend weather remains supportive, with Saturday and Sunday looking mostly sunny and comfortable for late-fall outdoor plans, including tree decorating or early holiday shopping.
For now, the metro sits in that classic November transition: brisk mornings, muted skies, and shifting patterns carrying hints of the deeper cold waiting north. Residents should stay aware of low clouds and pockets of drizzle, especially when visibility dips near sunrise.
