Light winds allowed areas of fog to develop Saturday night and the fog lingered into today. Many locations have seen dense fog.

A dense fog advisory continues until noon today in much of western and south-central Minnesota plus portions of central Minnesota and the southern part of the Twin Cities metro area:

Here are details of the Twin Cities metro area/south-central Minnesota portion of the dense fog advisory:

Areas of fog are also expected Sunday evening and overnight Sunday night, with dense fog/freezing fog also possible.

Most of Minnesota and western Wisconsin won’t see any measurable snow this Sunday, but a few passing flurries are possible at times.

Some periods of light snow are possible as we go through Monday and Monday evening. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s North American Mesoscale (NAM) forecast model shows the potential precipitation pattern from 4 a.m. Monday to 10 p.m. Monday:

The best chance of occasional light snow showers in the Twin Cities will be Monday afternoon and Monday evening.

Much of Minnesota and western Wisconsin will have Sunday highs in the lower 20s. There will be some teens in northwestern Minnesota and west-central Minnesota.

Monday highs reach the lower 30s in many locations, including the Twin Cities:

Our average Twin Cities high temperature is 23 degrees this time of year.

Twin Cities metro area highs are projected to reach the upper 20s on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by lower 20s Thursday and Friday. Twin Cities highs are expected to be below normal next weekend.

Below normal temps may linger from next weekend into the following week, according to the latest temperature outlook from the NWS Climate Prediction Center:

If we see average snowfall in the Twin Cities the rest of this snow season we’ll receive about 25 additional inches of snow. That would put our Twin Cities 2022-2023 snow season total over 77 inches, which hasn’t happened since the 2018-2019 snow season….four years ago.
