❄️ Light snow showers and flurries will be possible Wednesday as a quick moving clipper swings through. The best chance of any light accumulations will be mostly in northern and western Minnesota with less to the east and southeast.
🥶 Behind the clipper, winds will increase for Thanksgiving and it will be colder. Thursday's high temperatures will be in just the teens and 20s. Northwest winds will blow at 10-20 mph.
