Then one foggy Christmas Eve – Chris

Merry Christmas Eve to one and all! After fog and flurries earlier today, fog has once again developed and could become dense again, meaning Santa will definitely need Rudolph to guide his sleigh through Minnesota. Once again, freezing fog will be possible as overnight lows fall to the upper 20s.

Christmas Day begins with fog early, otherwise it’s a mostly cloudy and mild day with a few flurries as highs return to the middle 30s for many. This serves as the beginning of a stretch of temperatures above freezing, and upwards of 15 degrees warmer than normal!

Thursday will be cloudy with highs in the upper 30s. As the next wave of low pressure arrives, showers begin to develop in the overnight hours of Thursday into Friday. Friday becomes a soggy day with widespread showers and highs near 40 degrees. Showers continue overnight Friday into Saturday. By Saturday, showers begin to taper off as highs remain seasonably warm into the lower 40s!

Enjoy the mild spell, highs return to the 20s and 30s next week, and I’m seeing signs of a COLD and wintry start to 2025. As always, we’ll see!

Enjoy the evening, and take care!
