12z Euro Ensemble model (EPS) 11-12-2018
Temperatures are trending cooler for next week per EPS model, yes the Euro model is caving to the GEFS model which has been the cooler solution all along for Thanksgiving week.
Note: This is still about a week away, though, so we could see things trend the other direction, in this case warmer, stay tuned.

Weather Synopsis for northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin
A frigid airmass covered the Northland today. Late day 850mb temperatures ranged from -18 to -20C, very impressive for November! Highs today were mainly in the teens to around 20 degrees with a gusty west or northwest wind to around 25 mph. Mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies were common today with a few snow flurries.
How cold will it get tonight? With temperatures already in the low to mid teens over much of the Northland as of 5 PM, temps won’t have to drop much to hit zero, if not lower! If clouds can clear out enough, then some of us will have lows of zero to possibly as cold as 10 below by dawn, but if clouds stick around, then lows will likely be in the zero to 10 above range. Note: Temperatures will be a little warmer closer to Lake Superior.
Flurries and a few snow showers will linger tonight especially along the South Shore of Lake Superior, and near the larger inland lakes.
Partly to mostly cloudy skies and still very cold for Tuesday with highs in the upper teens to middle 20s.
We finally warm up on Wednesday with afternoon temperatures rising into the 30s with a few 40s possible across western portions of the area. Typically when it warms up at this time of year will have to deal with a gusty wind, and that will be a factor on Wednesday as a SW low level jet increases to around 30 to 50 knots with winds gusts near the surface of 20 to around 30 mph.
Mild temps continue on Thursday with highs in the 30s to lower 40s. Cold air comes rushing back in this weekend, but before that occurs, there could be a snow event which impacts parts of the upper Midwest, possibly including parts of the Northland sometime in the Thursday night-Saturday morning time frame.
