Minneapolis Under Dense Fog Advisory, Improved Conditions ExpectedSource: X/NWS Twin Cities

The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for the Minneapolis area, effective until 10:00 A.M. CST this morning. The advisory warns of visibility dropping to a quarter mile or less in dense fog. Affected areas include several counties such as Anoka, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, Scott, Freeborn, Le Sueur, Rice, Steele, and Waseca.

Following this, the forecast in Minneapolis suggests a mostly cloudy day ahead, with a high near 47 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Driving conditions are expected to improve later as the fog dissipates, giving way to calm winds becoming west-southwes around 5 mph in the afternoon. This improvement provides a brief respite before clouds once again blanket the sky.

Tonight's weather is forecasted to remain mostly cloudy with a low of around 36 and continued west winds at about 5 mph. The outlook towards the end of the week appears more favorable, with the National Weather Service predicting mostly sunny skies on Thursday and a high near 49 degrees. West southwest winds will maintain a gentle pace at 5 to 10 mph. Thursday night will bring clear skies with a low hovering around 36.

The weekend forecast suggests a shift, as there is a 50 percent chance of rain showers after noon on Saturday, introducing predominantly cloudy conditions with a high near 53. The rain is expected to intensify by Saturday night, with the likelihood of precipitation hitting 80%. However, as the sun dares to peek through the Sunday morning clouds, there will still be a 40 percent chance of showers before noon. Veterans Day is anticipated to be mostly sunny, offering a high near 57 and southwest winds at 5 to 10 mph, hopefully casting light on what once seemed a foreboding stretch of autumn grey.
