[anvplayer video=”5149629″ station=”998130″]
Happy Thanksgiving! Our day will be mostly pleasant with minimal travel impacts.
Light snow, with potential freezing drizzle, will continue moving through the far northern portion of Minnesota this morning. The precipitation will reach the Twin Ports at around 11 am and move through Douglas and Bayfield counties as well as the Arrowhead from 11 am to 1 pm before clearing. Accumulation will be minimal. Once this round clears, we stay dry for at least a few days.
The main travel impact for Thanksgiving and Black Friday will be fog. We will see patchy fog continue through the morning. Clouds will clear briefly this afternoon, but then fog will return late tonight into Friday morning.
Temperatures will be warmer than yesterday, with afternoon highs in the thirties. The warming trend will continue for a couple more days, with afternoon highs in the forties on Saturday. Cooler temperatures return Sunday, and snow chances return Monday night.
