Friday will be mild with sunshine. A clipper system brings increased cloud cover and cooler temperatures with some light snow for the weekend.

Mild Friday then cooler this weekend with light snow 

It’s been almost a week since we’ve had a decent amount of sunshine but we should see a fair amount Friday. High temperatures will reflect that with highs near 40 for much of southern and eastern Minnesota. Readings will be cooler in northwest Minnesota. 

A weekend clipper system will bring increased cloud cover Saturday and light snow showers moving in from north to south Saturday into early Sunday. 

While snowfall amounts will generally be light, up to a couple of inches could fall in portions of northeast Minnesota, making it the most significant snowfall in weeks for some.

The clipper system will also drag down some cooler, but not frigid air. Temperatures will still be slightly above normal but likely subfreezing statewide Sunday.

Next week and the first days of 2024 brings more of the same: slightly above normal temperatures and relatively quiet weather.
