MINNESOTA, USA — The clouds and gusty northwest winds are hanging tough, but both should fade a bit heading into Friday.
Expect gradual clearing later in the day with much less wind.
Temperatures will remain seasonal throughout the weekend as we enjoy an overall quiet forecast. Do expect more clouds than sun but not much precipitation is forecast to fall from the sky - at least through Sunday.
If you're headed out to a deer stand in Wisconsin for the opener, you can plan on a mostly-cloudy sky, with a bit more sun to the north. Temps will be seasonal, ranging from the upper 30s to the lower 40s both Saturday and Sunday. Winds will be light from the west on Saturday, and light from the east on Sunday.
A couple of weak systems will brush by Sunday night and again early Wednesday. Each could trigger some light snow chances, but nothing significant. The mercury will dip, with daytime highs likely staying below freezing all of Thanksgiving week.
We're a ways out, but Thanksgiving Day looks chilly with a few snow flurries possible. Right now, we're not looking at anything that would impact travel. That being said, long-range forecast models have even colder air arriving as we wrap up November. Ski resorts and early ice fishermen should start getting excited!
