Cloudy skies will persist through Saturday evening, with lows only dropping into the mid-30s. On Sunday, a clipper system will bring light snow accumulations to the northland and North Shore, while the Twin Cities may experience a light rain/snow mix.

Cloudy, quiet conditions will persist Saturday evening, with low temperatures dropping into the mid-30s in the metro area. Calm winds will continue across the state as well.

Snow showers are expected in the northern parts of the state, particularly north of Interstate 94, as a clipper system moves through. This could bring light snow accumulations to the region, including several inches along the North Shore. The Twin Cities could see a light rain/snow mixture with no accumulation expected. 

Multiple fronts bring rounds of Arctic air

Our clipper system Sunday night will usher in the first round of colder air, followed by a second surge of arctic air on Thanksgiving, bringing highs in the 20s and 30s. Temperatures will drop sharply Thursday night into Friday morning, with lows in the single digits and low teens for the metro. If you're planning on Black Friday shopping, make sure to bundle up!
