Good morning. Minnesota. I'm Aaron Jolly.

If you stepped outside at sunrise, you probably couldn't see much past your driveway. Dense fog has swallowed central Minnesota whole this morning, thick enough to earn us advisories until noon. We're sitting at 40 degrees under that murky blanket. Up near Duluth and the North Shore, freezing drizzle is turning roads into skating rinks. Take it slow up there.

In the next 24 hours. Now here's where Minnesota gets interesting today. The Twin Cities climbs to 55 degrees — that's spring-jacket weather. Southern Minnesota hits 53. But push north and it's a completely different day. Northern Minnesota barely scratches 33 degrees. That fog isn't budging. And a biting northeast wind at 15 miles an hour makes it feel like 13 this morning. Your jacket choice depends entirely on which direction you're headed.

Tonight, rain arrives after 3 A.M. Lows hold in the mid-40s across the metro and south. The north stays colder, around 29.

Friday's the main event. A potent storm rolls through with rain and thunderstorms — some could pack a punch, especially down south. Highs push upper 50s to low 60s. Then Friday night, cold air crashes the party and flips everything to snow. Northern areas pick up a slushy inch or two. The transition zone might see some ice mixed in.

The weekend calms down. Saturday clears out with highs in the mid-40s. Sunday warms to 62. Monday could hit 65 degrees in southern Minnesota before another system arrives Tuesday with mixed precipitation and cooler air.

One more thing — we're gaining over three minutes of daylight today. Spring equinox is just two weeks out. Tonight's full moon will punch through those breaking clouds if you catch it.

For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Minnesota. I'm Aaron Jolly.

That milky, washed-out sky you're seeing? That's moisture trapped near the ground. And it's setting the stage for a foggy night. We're sitting at 43 degrees right now under partly cloudy skies. But the real story is what's coming. A spring storm that means business.

In the next 24 hours. Tonight, fog spreads across much of the state. A Dense Fog Advisory is already in effect for central Minnesota until noon Thursday. Visibility could drop to a quarter mile or less. Lows hold in the mid-30s.

Thursday brings another mild day once the fog lifts. The Twin Cities reaches 54 degrees. Southern Minnesota tops out around 53. Head north though. And it's a different feel. Grand Marais and the Arrowhead stay in the lower 30s with that northeast wind off Lake Superior.

Thursday night into Friday morning, our storm arrives. Rain spreads north. And thunderstorms are likely across southern Minnesota. Some could be strong Friday evening. Rainfall totals of a half-inch to an inch are expected. Northern Minnesota sees rain Friday, then a transition to snow Friday night with a few inches possible.

The weekend? A roller coaster. Saturday cools to the 40s. Then Sunday and Monday surge back into the 60s — nearly 20 degrees above normal for early March. Winter makes a return by midweek next week.

Tonight's full moon will be fighting through the fog. Sunrise is at 6:47. We're gaining over three minutes of daylight each day now. And the spring equinox is just two weeks away.

Take it slow on the roads tonight if you're heading out. That fog can sneak up on you fast. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Minnesota. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Step outside right now and you might bump into your own mailbox. We're sitting at 34 degrees with visibility down to a quarter mile or less across much of the state. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect through mid-morning for western and southern Minnesota. Take it slow on the roads.

In the next 24 hours. Here's the good news. That fog lifts by 9 A.M. and behind it? A preview of spring. Highs today reach 55 degrees in the Twin Cities. Southern Minnesota hits 54. Head north and you'll see 48 degrees — still remarkably mild for early March. We're running about 15 degrees above normal right now.

Tonight, patchy fog returns after 3 A.M. Lows dip to 36 in the metro and southern Minnesota, but northern areas drop to 25.

Thursday looks similar. Morning fog gives way to partly sunny skies. Highs again in the low-to-mid 50s.

But Friday. That's when things get interesting. A classic early spring system arrives with widespread rain and possible thunderstorms. Some spots could see over an inch of rain. The rain transitions to snow Friday night into Saturday morning across the north.

The five-day outlook shows this warm stretch continuing through Monday, when southern Minnesota could push 67 degrees. Then reality checks back in by midweek.

In Quick notes, tonight's full moon rises through clearing skies. And we're gaining over three minutes of daylight each day now — spring equinox is just two weeks away.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Minnesota. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Step outside and you might do a double-take. We're sitting at 43 degrees right now under clear skies. That's roughly 28 degrees warmer than we'd expect for early March. Winter is officially loosening its grip, folks.

In the next 24 hours. Here's the breakdown for today. The Twin Cities climbs to 56 degrees this afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Head north and things cool off a bit. Northern Minnesota sees partly sunny skies with a high near 46 degrees. Down in Southern Minnesota, you'll hit 53 degrees, but keep your wits about you. Widespread fog is rolling in before 9 A.M., so give yourself extra time on the roads.

Tonight, the story shifts to visibility. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for northwest and west central Minnesota until 8 A.M. Wednesday. You could see visibility drop to a quarter mile or less. Elsewhere, lows settle into the lower 30s.

Wednesday brings more of this early spring tease. The Twin Cities hits 56 degrees again. Northern Minnesota reaches 46 degrees. Southern Minnesota climbs to 53 degrees with that fog finally clearing by mid-morning.

The pattern flips Thursday night. Rain moves in after midnight. Friday looks wet with rain showers across the state. Southern Minnesota might even hear a rumble of thunder. Some areas could see a half-inch or more.

The weekend? Absolutely gorgeous. Saturday brings sunshine with highs near 50. Sunday and Monday, we're talking upper 50s to low 60s. That's 28 degrees to 28 degrees above normal.

Tonight's full moon will be shining through partly cloudy skies. A perfect way to end a mild March day.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz.

Here's the setup. Cold air to the north. Milder air to the south. and right where they collide? A tight ribbon of snow setting up across southern Minnesota this morning.

In the next 24 hours. This is what meteorologists call frontogenetical snow. Basically, when two air masses crash into each other in a narrow zone, they squeeze out moisture like wringing a sponge. The result? Locations 50 miles apart could see completely different days.

Southern Minnesota gets hammered. Snow fires up around 7 A.M. and peaks near noon. The Minnesota River valley down toward the Iowa border picks up 2 to 4 inches. Cottonwood. Lincoln. and Lyon Counties are under a Winter Weather Advisory until 3 P.M. Highs struggle to reach 21 degrees.

The Twin Cities sits right on the northern edge. Snow likely after 9 A.M., with 1 to 2 inches possible by evening. You're at 21 degrees.

Push north and the story flips. Northern Minnesota stays dry with partly sunny skies. but it's brutal cold. Highs only near 15 degrees. Tonight you plummet to minus 4. Wind chills could hit minus 14 in the Arrowhead by early Sunday.

Statewide tonight, skies partially clear and the cold deepens. The metro drops to 4 degrees. Single digits above zero in the south. Below zero up north.

Sunday brings sunshine but stays chilly. Lower 20s for most areas.

Now here's the good news. Monday climbs to near 37 degrees. By Thursday, we're looking at lower 50s. Spring is knocking on the door. We're gaining over 3 minutes of daylight today. and the spring equinox is just 20 days away.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Minnesota Weather Podcast — it's Thursday, February 26th.

Step outside right now and you're stuck in the teens. But buckle up.. Because by this afternoon, we're jumping to the 40s. That's a 25-degree climb before lunch.

Up north, light snow is falling as you read this. Those flakes wrap up around 11 A.M. with less than an inch on the ground. You'll hit 37 degrees this afternoon. Tonight drops to 26 under gray skies.

Down in the Twin Cities, you're starting at 16 degrees. Clouds peel back by midday for some sunshine. You'll climb to 43 degrees. Tonight settles at 29 under partly cloudy skies.

Southern Minnesota mirrors the metro — 17 degrees now, 43 degrees by afternoon. Tonight's low hits 31. Quick note for Jackson County: Dense Fog Advisory until 9 A.M. That's the kind of fog where your headlights just bounce back at you.

Tomorrow cranks the heat even higher. Twin Cities reach 47. Southern Minnesota could touch 50. But here's the catch.. Winds arrive with authority. Gusts hit 30 miles an hour across the south. Up north? You're looking at 45-mile-an-hour gusts. A High Wind Watch goes into effect Friday afternoon.

Then Saturday flips the script. A cold front crashes us back into the teens and 20s statewide. Snow develops across southern Minnesota Saturday morning. Roads could get slick fast.

Sunday stays locked in the cold with highs in the mid-20s. Then we thaw again Monday through Wednesday, climbing back into the 30s and 40s.

One bright spot: we're gaining over three minutes of daylight today. Spring equinox is just three weeks out.

Charge your phone before those Friday winds arrive. Dead batteries don't help anyone.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Minnesota Weather Podcast — it's Wednesday, February 25th.

That little dusting overnight? Just winter reminding us it's still boss. Step outside right now and you're feeling 14 degrees. That's the kind of cold that makes your nose hairs freeze.

Up north, you're taking the hardest hit. Bottoming out at 2 degrees around 8 A.M. Winds kick in from the northwest, gusting to 15 miles an hour. And suddenly it feels like minU S One7. That's dangerous cold, folks. Cover that skin. Snow rolls in late tonight, midnight to 5 A.M., peaking around 3 A.M. You'll only climb to 18 degrees by 4 P.M.

Twin Cities, you've got it easier. Low of 12 around 6 A.M., feeling like minU S One. Then sunshine takes over and pushes you to 23 by 3 P.M. Dry through the day. Tonight brings a slight chance of flurries between midnight and 4 A.M., but nothing to worry about.

Southern Minnesota sits at 14 around 7 A.M., feeling like zero. Sunshine all day with a high of 26 by 4 P.M. Winds shift from northwest to west around 4 P.M., but stay calm.

Looking at the week ahead. . And buckle up.

Thursday jumps into the 40s. Twin Cities hits 42, southern Minnesota could touch 44. Friday stays mild near 46. Then Friday night, a cold front crashes the party. Saturday drops back to the low 20s with accumulating snow likely south of I-94. Sunday and Monday recover into the 30s.

We're gaining over three minutes of daylight today. Spring equinox is three weeks out.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Minnesota Weather Podcast — it's Tuesday, February 24th.

Step outside and that wind will find every crack in your jacket. But this is just the warm-up act. A fast-moving clipper is splitting Minnesota in half today — heavy snow up north, a messy mix in the metro. And a spring tease down south.

**Up in the Arrowhead**, Winter Storm Warnings are already posted. Snow starts before sunrise and dumps hard through early afternoon. You're looking at one to two inches with gusts to 30 miles an hour whipping it sideways. Highs hit 31 degrees around 1 P.M., then nosedive to 5 degrees by 4 A.M. Wind chills? Feels like minus 13 by morning. That's the kind of cold where breathing hurts.

**Twin Cities**, you get the messy middle. Snow moves in between 8 and 10 A.M., peaking right around 9 A.M. With a 70 percent chance of accumulation. Half an inch piles up fast before switching to freezing rain — just enough to turn bridges into ice rinks. Highs reach 34 degrees by 1 P.M., then crash to 12 degrees overnight. Winds howl at 14 miles an hour out of the southwest, shifting northwest by evening. Watch those overpasses during your morning commute.

**Southern Minnesota**, you're the lucky ones. A brief snow chance around 10 A.M. — just 23 percent — but most of you stay dry. Temperatures climb all day, from 15 degrees at 5 A.M. To a downright pleasant 38 degrees by 3 P.M. **Here's the week ahead**: Wednesday brings a sharp cooldown — teens and 20s statewide. Then Friday flips the script. Southern Minnesota could hit 52 degrees while the Arrowhead climbs into the low 40s. That's 20 degrees above normal. But Saturday slams the door shut again — another cold front drops us back into the teens and 20s by Sunday, with light snow possible both days.

Cover that exposed skin today. Winter's not done with us yet.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Minnesota Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd.

Step outside right now and five degrees slaps you in the face. Wind chill? Minus five. But here's the kicker — tonight, winter splits this state in half.

Up north, snow rolls in between 1 A.M. And 5 A.M. Duluth wakes up to one to two inches and winds gusting to 30 miles an hour. Southern Lake County? You're under a Winter Storm Warning for five to eight inches — enough to wreck Tuesday's commute. Meanwhile, down south, the Twin Cities stay bone dry today. Sunny skies, high of 20 degrees. Tonight gets weird. Temperatures rise overnight — yes, rise — climbing from 5 degrees at dawn to 20 by Tuesday at 3 P.M. Then a clipper drags through. The metro sees a brief mix of snow and rain before noon. Rain. In February. I know. Northern Minnesota gets another round of snow, then the front hammers through and temps crater. Wednesday morning? Eighteen degrees up north, 21 in the Cities.

Friday is the plot twist. Highs soar to 46 in the metro, 49 down south — 20 degrees above normal. It'll feel like spring broke into your house uninvited. But Saturday? Reality slams back. Highs tumble to the 20s.

Here's your week: Tuesday brings snow up north and a wintry mess near I-94. Wednesday stays quiet. Thursday warms to 35. Friday hits 46 — the warmest day you'll see this week. Then the weekend drags us back to the teens and 20s with a chance of snow. Because of course.

One more thing — we're gaining three minutes of daylight every day. Sunrise at 7:02 A.M. Today, sunset at 5:53 P.M. Spring is crawling closer.

If you're heading out this morning. That wind chill bites.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Minnesota Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd.

Step outside right now and you'll feel 8 degrees biting at your face. Winter isn't done with us yet, folks. We're locked in a deep freeze through Monday, but here's the plot twist: Tuesday brings snow up north while southern Minnesota gets a sneak peek at spring by Friday.

Those steady northwest winds at 15 miles an hour? They're pumping Arctic air straight into the state. The Twin Cities hit 17 degrees around 1 P.M., then crash to 4 degrees by 5 A.M. Monday. Wind chills drop to minus 10 in the metro. That's the kind of cold where your coffee freezes before you finish it.

Up north, you're barely touching 17 degrees around 3 P.M., then plummeting to minus 2 degrees overnight. Wind chills hit minus 16. Cover that exposed skin — frostbite doesn't ask permission. Snow showers roll through today, with up to 3 inches near the North Shore.

Down south, you'll peak at 16 degrees around 4 P.M., then drop to 6 degrees by dawn.

But Tuesday changes everything. A clipper system dives in from Canada, bringing 1 to 3 inches of snow to the Arrowhead and Iron Range. Roads get slippery up there. Meanwhile, the Twin Cities see a chance of light snow but stay mostly dry. Southern Minnesota? Dry and windy, gusting to 20 miles an hour.

Then Friday hits. The metro soars to 45 degrees. Southern Minnesota touches 48. That's a 30-degree swing in three days.

Here's your week ahead: Monday stays cold and dry. Tuesday brings snow up north. Wednesday lingers with slight snow chances. Thursday turns sunny and milder. Friday delivers that spring preview before another cold snap returns next weekend.

Alright. If this forecast helped you plan your week, share it with a neighbor who could use the heads up.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
