After waking up to the first freeze of the season across the core Twin Cities metro Friday morning, we're finally getting a taste of what November typically feels like. A gradual warming trend is on the way, with above-normal temperatures returning for much of next week.
Chilly start to deer opener
The first widespread freeze of the season occurred across the Twin Cities region Thursday night into Friday morning, marking the area’s third-latest first freeze on record.
Friday night will bring another chilly night, although temperatures will depend quite a bit on how cloud cover evolves.
Clouds will spread across western Minnesota Friday night, helping limit overnight cooling. Farther east, however, cloud cover becomes less certain.

Eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin look to have the greatest potential for the coldest temperatures into Saturday morning with clear skies forecast.
For deer hunters heading out early Saturday morning, be prepared for a chilly start. Dress in layers and keep an eye on local temperatures, especially in areas farther east where skies may remain clearer.
Sunshine and seasonable temps this weekend
High pressure and a relatively quiet weather pattern should keep skies mostly sunny to partly cloudy through the weekend with little in the way of precipitation expected. Outdoor plans like putting holiday lights on the house should be in good shape.
Overall, this looks like a classic November weekend across Minnesota. We'll have seasonable temperatures, plenty of sunshine, and relatively quiet weather before a gradual warming trend gets underway heading into next week.
The warmer-than-normal pattern looks to continue much of next week, and it appears we'll need to wait a little longer for any sustained stretch of winterlike cold.
