Minnesota is in for another dreary day Friday, with most of the state seeing fog through the morning and predominantly cloudy skies all day.
Friday’s forecast
With very light and even calm winds across Minnesota overnight and early Friday morning, thick fog has developed across much of the state.
The entire state, except southeastern Minnesota and a sliver of Cook County, are in a dense fog advisory until 11 a.m.
It is freezing fog in many places, and in northeastern Minnesota a little freezing drizzle may even mix in, so watch for slick spots on the roads.

Even after the fog lifts, cloudy skies prevail the rest of the day, with enough moisture for isolated flurries to be possible but nothing accumulating.
The cloud cover kept temperatures mild again overnight, with teens and 20s for most of the state Friday morning, although there are a few single digits in the Arrowhead. Daytime highs will be in the 20s for most of the state, ranging from near-average south to about 10 degrees above average north.
Fog and clouds continue into the weekend, then even milder weather returns next week. That extended forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
