Wednesday will be similar but with mainly cloudy skies and the chance at some light snow showers or flurries as a quickly moving clipper system moves through the region.
There won’t be a lot of moisture but some light accumulation is possible in northern and western Minnesota mainly Wednesday into Wednesday night with flurries for many on Thursday.
Even colder air is moving in for Thanksgiving behind the clipper into the weekend. It will bring a several day stretch of below-normal temperatures.
Our second cold front will also kick up the winds Thursday from the northwest at 10-20 mph. Highs Thursday will be mostly in the 20s and even teens in the northwest.
