All of Friday stays very mild, with light snow moving across northern Minnesota throughout the day.
Friday’s forecast
Thanks to cloudy skies keeping temperatures from dropping and warm southerly winds, Friday is starting off incredibly mild for December. Morning lows mostly in the 20s have much of the state already warmer than the average highs this time of year.
Highs also remain mild, with almost all of Minnesota in the 30s for highs, putting temperatures over 10 degrees above average.
This is despite mostly cloudy skies and a cold front moving across the state that brings light snow to the northern half of the state.

There may be a couple isolated snow totals over an inch near the border, but most locations can expect under an inch of snow.
Some of that precipitation is likely to make it into southern Minnesota, including the Twin Cities. However, moisture will be sparse and with daytime temperatures above freezing, it is most likely just to bring a few sprinkles in the afternoon hours and maybe an isolated flurry.
The weekend turns sunny, with another light snow chance Sunday night.
That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
