Regional View.
An active weekend is setting up in the Upper Midwest, A system will spread a variety of weather causing problems with Freezing Rain and slick roads for Eastern MN and Northern WI, North of there in Minnesota, minor snow accumulations will be seen. South of both areas will mainly be a rain event in southern WI and Iowa. Monday colder air will push in allowing for snow to fall in Southern MN and WI, which may allow for minor accumulations.

Local View.
Note: There will be no update to this forecast Sunday as I tend our Graduation Party.
Locally we can expect light rain to begin falling very early Sunday Morning, with with temps in the upper 20s to low 20s it will freeze on contact. This will cause very slick roads by Sunday Morning by the time the sun comes up. Road conditions should begin to improve by 11AM. For traveling to Clayton tomorrow for our Graduation Party should hopefully expect Fair road conditions by 11AM. Sunday afternoon any freezing rain/drizzle will be plain old rain as temperatures warm to the upper 30s. Monday Colder air will begin to wrap in and forecast model show there will still be enough preip around to drop minor snowfall accumulations across the area. I’m going with 1-2 inches at this time, Highs will likely be there warmest early in the day. Tuesday will be much cooler and will likely be mainly cloudy with maybe some flurries, highs will only likely remain in the mid 20s,m which is would be the coolest highs of the season so far, lows after this will fall into the low teens.
Sunday, Freezing Rain in the morning, little ice accumulation possible, Slick Roads! Then Rain in the afternoon with improving road conditions. Highs in the upper 30s. Sunday Night, Cloudy, chance of snow late lows in the upper 20s.
Monday, A good chance of snow, Minor accumulations possible 1-2″ Cooler with highs in the low 30s, Monday Night, Flurries Possible, lows in the upper teens.
Tuesday, Cold, A chance of flurries, otherwise mostly cloudy. Highs in the low to mid 20s. Tuesday Night, cool, lows in the low to mid teens.
Looking Ahead
The time frame just beyond my 3 day forecast looks very interesting and needs to be watched closely. At this time A good snowfall event with wind still appears possible right around the Thanksgiving Holiday Significant Snow Accumulation is still a possibility for Thanksgiving. Just after the passing of this storm system, our first real punch of Arctic Ait dives south, highs may struggle to reach the low to mid 10s, and lows could be as cold as the mid to lower single digits! Warmer air looks to make a come back by Saturday the 27th The models show a dry pattern setting up from the 27th to December 1st. Then the models show Much colder air with multiple chances at snow by the 6th of December.
A significant Winter Storm System is possible for Thanksgiving, Please look to Future forecasts for updates.
