There could be some spotty drizzle Saturday evening in eastern Minnesota, with a chance of scattered showers in western Wisconsin and steadier rains deeper into Wisconsin. Some scattered rain and snow showers are possible Saturday evening in parts of northeastern Minnesota closest to Lake Superior.

An upper level disturbance will spread areas of showers across Minnesota and western Wisconsin late Saturday night, with a chance of snow showers or a rain/snow mix in northern Minnesota and parts of northwestern Wisconsin. 

The rain/snow mix or snow showers may linger into early Sunday morning in parts of northeastern Minnesota, then scattered snow showers could develop in far northern Minnesota Sunday afternoon. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s North American Mesoscale forecast model shows shows the potential precipitation pattern from 6 a.m. Sunday to 8 p.m. Sunday:

Sunday highs will range from 30s in northwestern Minnesota to lower 50s in the south:

Our Twin Cities metro area highs in the lower 50s will be a few degrees warmer than our average Nov. 6 high of 47 degrees.

Twin Cities highs are projected to be in the lower 40s Monday, followed by mid 50s Tuesday and mid 60s on Wednesday. We could see mid 50s early on Thursday, then falling temps into the 40s by afternoon, and highs in the mid 30s on Friday.

At this point, it looks like the Twin Cities metro area will have a chance of rain showers Tuesday afternoon and evening and also on Wednesday and Thursday. Check forecast updates in the coming days.

Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday
