KEY MESSAGES
- Our single day of cooler than normal temperatures gives way to warmer than normal temperatures by Monday, when highs in the low 60s are likely south of I-94, before moderating back to near normal.
- While the next week will very likely (90%) be free of precipitation, accumulating snow falling late Wednesday night, while a remote possibility (<5%) cannot be completely ruled out.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 101 PM CST Fri Nov 6 2026
Temperatures: Trending Warmer and then Back to Normal
While northwesterly flow aloft looks to dominate the weather pattern over the next few days, heights aloft will tend to build overall, particularly Sunday into Monday. As this occurs, northern stream wave looks to skirt to our north with the associated surface low being centered around Lake of the Woods around midday Monday. This will lead to a bit of a southwesterly breeze on Monday as well. The end result should be temperatures around 60 with readings likely (70- 90% per 06.13z NBM) above that south of Interstate 94. As broad cyclonic flow over the eastern half of Canada expands and multiple waves pass downstream over the region, heights aloft and, consequently, temperatures moderate closer to normal (around 50) as next week goes on.
Precipitation: Very Likely Dry, Very Low (<5%) Potential for Accumulating Snow Wednesday Night
Lack of moisture through much of the column will very likely prevent precipitation from occurring even as a series of upper impulses move over or near the forecast area Sunday, Monday, and next Wednesday/Thursday, although a few light showers could occur with the Wednesday/Thursday wave as moisture increases around 850mb and CAA aloft leads to shallow surface-based instability. That said, an interesting outlier is the 06.12 GFS, which has a much stronger upper wave diving over northeast Iowa and cooler temperatures through the profile. Should this occur, an axis of accumulating snow would result. With the 06.13z NBM and the 06.00z LREF having almost zero chance of snow, safe to say this is a very low (<5%)
probability outcome at this time.
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
Issued at 524 PM CST Fri Nov 6 2026
High pressure will remain over the area through Saturday. Some models are indicating that IFR/MVFR clouds may move into northeast Iowa and southeast Minnesota west of Highway 52 after 07.08z and persist through 07.16z.
