Temperatures across Minnesota stay above average all day, although breezy winds keep the wind chill in the teens most of the day.
Thursday’s forecast
The state is off to a very mild start again for December, thanks to mostly cloudy skies overnight and a predominant wind flow from the south. Morning temperatures are mostly in the teens and 20s, with only the Arrowhead seeing single digits because clear skies and calm winds allowed temperatures to drop more.
There is also an area of mostly light fog through all of southwestern Minnesota Thursday morning, spreading north to the Alexandria area and east to around Rochester, that lifts by midmorning.
Under a mix of clouds and sunshine and winds staying southerly, highs will be 5 to 10 degrees above average for most of the state, with afternoon temperatures in the upper 20s to mid-30s.
Winds will be breezy Thursday, especially in western Minnesota, which keeps wind chill temperatures in the teens much of the day.
Temperatures turn even milder Friday, even with snow moving across parts of the state. That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
