MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Our Friday will feel fairly average for this time of year with a high around 27 degrees and a chance of some flurries.

The snow shouldn’t amount to anything more than a dusting.

Things still look pretty bleak for a white Christmas.

This weekend we warm significantly.

Expect highs in the low 30s on Saturday with a mostly cloudy sky.

But Sunday we warm into the 40s with parts of western Minnesota approaching 50.

Yes, it is December!
