Updated to include 06Z aviation discussion below.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 150 PM CST Fri Dec 31 2021
Key Messages:
- An arctic air mass will bring dangerously cold temperatures and
wind chills in tonight, which will linger through Sunday morning.
- Temperatures in the -20s are expected tonight and Saturday night
across central and western Minnesota with some lows possibly in the
lower -30s Saturday night.
A band of light snow continues this afternoon from parts of
southwestern Minnesota east northeastward into northern Wisconsin.
The band should weaken and dissipate late this afternoon as the
disturbance responsible for it pushes off to the northeast.
Temperatures are falling across western Minnesota this afternoon,
with readings now below zero. This colder air will continue to bleed
southeast tonight on winds that should remain elevated. Lows tonight
will drop into the -20s across central and western Minnesota, while
thicker cloud cover will keep negative single digits for Eau Claire
and southeast Minnesota areas. Highs Saturday will struggle to reach
zero over western Wisconsin and 10 below across western Minnesota.
The bottom could fall out Saturday night. Completely clear skies,
light winds, and staring off bitterly cold from the daytime should
help send temperatures toward at least 30 below across central
Minnesota and 20 below elsewhere. Temperatures may steady or slowly
rise overnight across the west where warm air advection begins behind
the surface ridge axis.
Wind chill headlines remain through noon Saturday. Thought about
extending them through Sunday morning, but there should be a period
Saturday afternoon where wind chills rise above criteria, and they
may not return Saturday night with the light or calm winds expected.
However, even a 3-5 mph wind will bring back dangerously cold wind
chills given how cold temperatures will be, so there's a decent
chance they'll need to be extended.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday)
Issued at 150 PM CST Fri Dec 31 2021
High pressure remains over the area on Sunday with cold temperatures
still on tap as highs struggle to get into the upper single digits
for all but SW MN where low teens are possible. Monday morning will
see lows drop into the negatives once again, however wind chills in
the negative teens will be slightly 'warmer' than the previous few
nights at least. High temperatures on Monday will be back near
seasonal in the mid to upper 20s thanks to sunshine and winds
shifting out of the south at the surface.
Zonal upper level flow coupled with a lack of prominent synoptic
scale forcing will bring us fairly quiet weather through Tuesday
ahead of our next chance for snow, arriving late Tuesday into early
Wednesday with most ensemble members showing at least small amounts
of snowfall by midday Wednesday. Deterministic solutions are showing
a broad upper level trough taking on a slight negative tilt as it
passes overhead, however the surface system will not be particularly
strong until it is over the eastern Great Lakes. Light snow showers
in increasing northwesterly winds are possible mainly on Wednesday
morning, followed by dry conditions and dropping temperatures with
highs struggling to get beyond the positive single digits through the
rest of the week.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 922 PM CST Fri Dec 31 2021
Forecast reasoning hasn't changed since previous set of TAFs, and the
earlier snow has departed, leaving VFR conditions in place. Look for
high pressure to continue to build across the area, with VFR
conditions and relatively light northwest winds. Mid/high clouds will
persist through the period, providing an elevated ceiling much of the
time.
KMSP...No concerns.
/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
Sunday...VFR. Northwest wind around 5 kt becoming variable.
Sunday night through Monday night...VFR. Mainly southeats wind 10 kt
or less.
Tuesday...MVFR possible late with a chance of snow. Southeast wind 5
to 10 kt becoming northeast.
Tuesday night...MVFR possible with a chance of snow. Northeast wind
5 to 15 kt becoming northwest.
