Cold today, warmer and quiet holiday travel week

Here’s your Saturday morning forecast for December 21, 2024 from Minnesota’s Weather Authority and Meteorologist Wren Clair.

We’re waking up to single digit temperatures in the metro and most of Minnesota, with calm winds across eastern Minnesota. Winds pick up out of the southeast as high pressure tracks east of the state. Winds are breezier this morning across western Minnesota, as you get farther away from the area of high pressure in command of our weather pattern today.

High temperatures trend a bit below normal today in the mid-teens, with partly to mostly cloudy skies. Flurries are possible today, but it’s more likely Up North.

Temperatures tomorrow are back in the upper-20s with PM and night freezing drizzle and light sctd. snowfall into Monday morning. This could be enough for a few slippery stretches Monday, but overall impacts on travel will remain low.

Count on easy travel weather next week, with temperatures in the mid to upper-30s and mostly cloudy skies all week.

Have a wonderful weekend!
