Halloween 2025 goes down in the record books as soggy and chilly. But, oh, it has been so much worse. Where were you in ‘91?

Our Friday evening showers will gradually fade away Saturday. Skies will be cloudy but drier, especially by Saturday afternoon.

The normal high and low temperatures for the Twin Cities for the first week of November are 47 and 33 degrees. We’ve come a long way from a 91-degree record high on Oct. 2.

Mild November overall?

The outlooks and jet stream patterns for November still slightly favor warmer-than-normal temperatures overall next month.

But I’m always mindful that the average date for first inch of snow in the Twin Cities is Nov. 18.

‘Tis the season.
