12z European computer model (ECMWF) 11-11-2018
850mb Temperature Forecast valid from November 12 thru 21 — Still a very cold pattern for our area thru Tuesday, then a brief warm up expected for midweek, followed by another blast of very cold air for next weekend. What occurs after next weekend is still a bit uncertain, although if you go with the Euro solution, then milder temps would return after November 19.

Still seeing differences in the long range ensemble models when it comes to temperatures for Thanksgiving week — Euro ensemble continues to be the milder solution.
Will be interesting to see which model ends up being right.

Weather Synopsis for northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin
An area of low pressure has moved out over Lake Superior this afternoon but clouds along with light snow showers and flurries continued to affect the area today behind this area of low pressure. There has been a few breaks in the clouds allowing for some sun, but for most of us it’s been a mostly cloudy day. Highs today mainly in the low to mid 20s, few spots near Lake Superior getting into the upper 20s, but all of us had another day with below average highs.
No big storms expected for this week, but occasional flurries and snow showers will linger through Monday with some snow accumulation possible near some of the larger inland lakes across the Northland, but the majority of us won’t be seeing any snow accumulation during the next 24 hours.
Sky conditions will vary between mostly cloudy to partly cloudy so we should see at least a little bit of sunshine at times on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
A reinforcing shot of cold/early season arctic air moves over the area through Tuesday with 850mb temps this Sunday afternoon of around -12C, falling to -15 to -20C for Monday and Tuesday.
Will get a nice shot of warm air advection on Wednesday as 850mb temps climb to +4 to +8C!
Low temperatures tonight will be in the lower teens to lower 20s, possibly a few single digits if skies clear out enough. Highs Monday and Tuesday in the upper teens to middle 20s.
Highs Wednesday and Thursday will finally warm back toward average to a little above average with highs both days forecast to be in the mid 30s to low 40s.
