Statewide sunshine returns Thursday, along with temperatures that are warm for December.
Thursday’s forecast
The wide band of clouds that moved across Minnesota Wednesday have continued south of the state, so most of the state is waking up to clear skies again. However, the clouds lingered enough into the evening and overnight hours, providing insulation, and combined with a southwest wind flow to keep us very mild. Most of the state stayed in the 20s overnight, with only a few spots dropping into the teens, especially in the Arrowhead.
Under plentiful sunshine, the state warms into the 30s north and 40s south, putting Minnesota 5 to 15 degrees above average for early December.
The mild and mostly sunny pattern continues for the next week. That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
