Minneapolis Braces for Cloudy and Chilly Thanksgiving Week with Possible Snow Flurries

According to the most recent weather projections, Minneapolis residents should prepare for a run of generally gloomy days with cold temperatures, interspersed with a remote chance of snow as Thanksgiving draws near. With clouds continuing to hang over the sky, today’s high is predicted to be close to 37 degrees with a little west-northwest breeze. Tonight is expected to follow the same pattern, with a little drop in temperature to about 28 degrees.

Anticipating the weekend, Saturday will have a high of about 38 degrees with a mix of clouds and some sunlight. It’s forecast that the morning’s calm breezes will turn east at about 5 mph. Though the low will drop a little to 27 degrees as northwest winds increase to 5 to 15 mph, these conditions are expected to largely persist into Sunday night.

With a 20 percent probability of snow on Monday before noon and again on Wednesday, the National Weather Service gives Minnesotans a taste of winter. Temperatures will peak close to 30 degrees at the beginning of the workweek, with particularly strong west-northwest winds of 15 mph and gusts of up to 30 mph.

In the days that follow Thanksgiving, Tuesday is expected to be the brightest day of the week with largely sunny skies, even though the high temperature is only expected to be close to 29 degrees. It is anticipated that nighttime temperatures will steadily drop into the low 20s. Thanksgiving itself is expected to bring partly sunny skies with a high of about 29 degrees and a 20 percent possibility of snow, which may make vacationers pay as much attention to the roads as they do to the skies. The National Weather Service website provides all of the forecast information and updates.
