MINNESOTA, USA — This was only the 8th time in recorded history snow fell on Halloween. Precipitation at MSP topped 1.26" making it the wettest Halloween on record (yes, even wetter than 1991).
Temperatures will remain fairly steady and mild overnight under mostly cloudy skies; we will likely see fog developing in western Minnesota as skies begin to clear from west to east; that fog could make its way towards the western Metro area by sunrise Saturday morning.
Partly sunny skies return for much of Saturday with a warming trend with the help of southerly winds and melting snow cover. A broad, slow-moving weather system will be making its way into the region on Sunday. Our chance for rain will be increasing from Sunday into Monday.
With a good mix of sun & clouds on Saturday, the mercury will climb into the 50s for most neighborhoods; we could even see 60s in southern Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Gray skies return on Sunday along with rain showers; there will be a greater chance of rain in northwestern and southeastern Minnesota along with portions of western Wisconsin. The Twin Cities will likely find itself between these heavier bands of rain, but a better chance of showers will arrive on Monday.
There could be some lingering showers Tuesday morning around eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin before clearing out.
Our next system arriving late in the week will have a chance of bringing us more beneficial rain, but it could pull in enough cold air to switch over to snow in more parts of our region. This is something we will keep a close eye on as it develops among the forecast models.
