Another unseasonably warm day will lead to our first severe weather risk of the year. Thunderstorms will form along a warm front between 3pm & 6pm, with all severe weather hazards possible. Make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings and stay weather aware! #mnwx #wiwx

[Tim Purington @TPurington]

All modes of severe weather are in play tomorrow. Time to get ready to chase tomorrow. Stay informed if in this area!

Not buying the hype. Just too much warm air early on across the Twin Cities to see big snow totals this weekend.

@chasetheplains Current Euro has 7 for MSP... 🤔

[NWS Twin Cities @NWSTwinCities]

WINTER STORM WATCH issued for the entire forecast area Sunday into early Monday. A very dynamic winter storm will bring several inches of accumulating snow, strong northwesterly winds, and significant impacts to travel to close the holiday weekend. Plan ahead!

[NWS Twin Cities @NWSTwinCities]

An arctic air mass this weekend will bring bitterly cold air temperatures and wind chills beginning Friday night and lasting through Sunday. Light snow is possible during Friday morning's commute. An inch or less of snow is expected. #mnwx #wiwx

[NWS Twin Cities @NWSTwinCities]

If you have travel plans ahead of Thanksgiving, the best advice we can give, especially if traveling north of the Twin Cities, is to leave Tue morning, or wait until Wed afternoon. It would be best to avoid non-essential travel Tue night through Wed morning. #mnwx #wiwx
