Minneapolis Engulfed in Dense Fog, NWS Issues Advisory with Quarter-Mile Visibility Warnings

As Minneapolis residents start their day, they are advised to proceed with caution due to prevalent dense fog enveloping the area. The National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN has issued a

Dense Fog Advisory

that remains in effect until 10 AM today, warning of visibility down to a quarter mile or less. Commuters should be prepared for the fog to “persist through daybreak over much of central and southern Minnesota into western Wisconsin,” as reported by the

National Weather Service.

Saturday through Thursday appears to promise a generally smooth weather pattern, with no hazardous weather currently expected. Looking to slightly disrupt this calm, a 50 percent chance of rain is anticipated to come Monday afternoon. As Minneapolis transitions into the weekday, increasing clouds will lead up to the rain with southeast winds at 5 to 15 mph, setting a stage for a 100 percent chance of rain Monday night.

Following the start of the week’s rainfall, Tuesday will be drenched mainly in the morning, carrying an 80 percent chance of precipitation with high temperatures nearing 49. As the week progresses, the possibility of both rain and snow in the forecasts starts to take shape. By Wednesday night, there’s a 30 percent chance of each, leading into Thursday when Minneapolitans could again face a 30 percent chance of rain and snow mix under mostly cloudy skies, as detailed by the

National Weather Service

.

As always, conditions are subject to change, so residents and travelers alike are urged to stay updated with the latest weather alerts and to always exercise caution while out on the roads. The fog today serves as a reminder of mother nature’s capability to swiftly alter visibility and, by extension, the safety on our streets. With the coming week’s forecast hinting at a mix of sun, rain, and potential snow, it is wise to remain vigilant and persevere to prepare for Minnesota’s dynamic weather patterns.
