Minneapolis–St. Paul, Minnesota – Another round of dense fog is expected to develop across eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin tonight, potentially reducing visibility for drivers through the Wednesday morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities, fog is likely to thicken overnight, with some areas seeing visibility drop to a quarter mile or less. The highest risk includes the Twin Cities metro, Rochester, St. Cloud, Eau Claire, and surrounding communities. Drivers are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra travel time through early Wednesday.
Beyond the fog, a brief warming trend settles in midweek. Highs climb into the upper 30s to lower 40s Wednesday and Thursday, helping limit ice concerns but keeping clouds around. Rain chances increase Thursday, particularly across southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin, before colder air begins to return late Thursday night.
By Friday, temperatures cool back into the lower to mid-30s with mostly cloudy skies. The National Weather Service is monitoring the potential for rain to transition to snow Thursday night into Friday, though exact timing and amounts remain uncertain. Additional snow chances may develop into Saturday across eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
Residents are encouraged to stay weather-aware, especially during overnight and early morning travel periods. More updates are expected as fog coverage and late-week precipitation details become clearer.
