Good afternoon! After record high temperatures in the low 80s yesterday, our forecast takes a drastic turn tonight into your Halloween forecast.

High temperatures today were just past midnight, with falling daytime temperatures. Winds stay strong out of the north/northwest today through tonight and tomorrow. Temperatures this late afternoon and evening are in the upper 40s and low 50s with scattered rain showers possible this evening commute.

Scattered rain showers are more likely overnight tonight, with a few non-severe storms possible overnight mainly across southern Minnesota. Early tomorrow morning rain transitions to a wintry mix north of the Twin Cities. A Winter Storm Watch is in place towards Pine County, northeastern MN and northwestern WI tomorrow morning through the daytime, where 2” to 4”+ inches of snowfall remain possible by Thursday afternoon.

The Twin Cities deals with a soggy morning commute with rainfall. The chance for a wintry mix and coating-1” of slushy snowfall is more likely to fall mid to late morning through the afternoon in the metro. Isolated locations across the north metro could see a quick 2” of slushy snowfall.

Most of the Thursday evening commute is dry, but roads remain wet. There is a slight chance for a light mix of rain/snow even flurries across the far east metro between 5-7 p.m. tomorrow.

However, I expect trick-or-treating will be dry for most kids.

Have wonderful day!
