Minneapolis, MN – Minnesota residents should brace for a frosty week ahead as light snow and sub-zero wind chills take hold. By Wednesday, the Twin Cities and surrounding areas could see a mix of flurries and icy conditions, posing challenges for Thanksgiving travelers along I-94 and other major highways.
According to the National Weather Service Twin Cities, Wednesday will bring highs of 25–30°F, with a 30–40% chance of light snow. By Thursday, temperatures are forecasted to drop sharply, with highs of 20–25°F and wind chills plummeting to as low as -5°F. Gusty winds reaching 15 mph will add to the chill, making outdoor plans particularly uncomfortable.
The cold intensifies by Friday, with highs struggling to exceed 20°F and wind chills dipping to -10°F in some regions. Breezy conditions will persist into Saturday, where sunny skies offer little relief from a frigid high of just 19°F. Residents should prepare for extended exposure to cold and dress accordingly, with extra caution for pets and vulnerable populations.
Thanksgiving travelers are advised to plan ahead, especially those navigating rural highways where slick patches from snow may develop. Keep emergency kits in your vehicles, including blankets and food, as temperatures remain dangerously low.
The forecast offers no significant warmup before the weekend, making this one of the coldest stretches of November. Whether traveling or staying home, Minnesotans are urged to monitor weather updates and prepare for challenging conditions.
