Twin Cities, MN – Dense fog is forecast to spread across Minnesota tonight, creating hazardous conditions through Monday morning. Freezing fog is likely overnight, leading to slick spots on roads and sidewalks.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), fog will become widespread by evening and persist into Monday. As temperatures dip below freezing, freezing fog will develop, increasing the risk of icy patches. Motorists and pedestrians are urged to exercise caution on untreated surfaces.
Cloud cover is expected to linger through Wednesday, keeping skies overcast and suppressing temperatures. Highs will range from the low 20s to low 30s, with lows plunging into the teens overnight. Visibility will remain reduced, particularly during the morning and evening commutes.
NWS predicts a shift by Thursday, when sunshine is expected to return. Temperatures will rise slightly, offering relief from the dreary conditions. By Friday, highs could reach the low 20s under mostly sunny skies, signaling a break from the foggy weather.
Residents should prepare for reduced visibility and slippery conditions, especially during nighttime hours. Plan extra travel time and drive with low-beam headlights. Keep pathways salted to prevent icy buildup.
The NWS advises staying updated on local weather alerts and monitoring conditions through the week. Hazardous weather conditions are expected to improve significantly by the weekend.
