Our mild November appears ready to roll into Thanksgiving week. A family of warm fronts blow toward Minnesota Wednesday.

Stiff southerly winds behind the front will boost temperatures into the 50s across southern Minnesota Wednesday afternoon. The European model forecast shows temperatures in the 50s on the southwest doorstep of the Twin Cities by noon Wednesday. Check out the surge of warm air across Nebraska and South Dakota.

The mild air lingers Thursday, with temperatures in the 50s south and 40s north. Highs will reach 70 degrees as close as extreme southern Iowa.

Mild bias into Thanksgiving week
The overall upper-air pattern favors milder than average temperatures into the first half of next week, and possibly into Thanksgiving Day. The average high and low for the Twin Cities on Thanksgiving Day are 35 and 20.

Temperatures appear likely to cool off sometime Thanksgiving weekend. But NOAA’s medium-range outlooks favor milder than average temperatures overall through the rest of November.

Stay tuned.
