NEXT Weather: More clouds Thursday, but mild December streak continues
MINNEAPOLIS — Mild winter days continue as we warm back to the lower 40s.
There will be more clouds Thursday, but that's the trade off for the warmth.
The day's forecasted high is 41 degrees. There will be some spotty showers in the late evening, but it will mainly be dry otherwise.
Patchy moisture carries over to Friday, with moments of drizzle and patchy fog. Temperatures remain in the 40s, before the real warmth arrives for the weekend.
Last year the forecast going into the #ChristmasCountdown was: 1, -4, and -2. This year we are working with 40s and 50s. 🤯

Highs jump to around 50 on Saturday and potentially a degree or two above on Sunday. That's when we are tracking our next system that will bring in the rain. It will be mostly cloudy.
Christmas Eve night will be wet, with moments of rain on Christmas Day.
Tuesday morning may see some snow to the northwest, but it still looks like the profile is too warm for serious winter weather.
