November 25 to 26, 2025 · NWS MPX · 39 events in 39 counties and zones

A strong low pressure produced a late fall system that brought a round of rain and heavy snow, as well as very gusty winds to the Upper Midwest. The combination of heavy falling snow and northwest winds gusting to around 40 to 50 mph resulted in significant travel impacts, especially across western and central Minnesota where the strongest winds overlapped with falling snow.

What happened

The episode as NWS MPX wrote it up.

The greatest snowfall amounts generally were reported along and north of the I-94 corridor, topping out around 5 to 9 inches.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Twin Cities, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 25, 6:05 AM CST, 5 hours 55 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

Incoming weather system today has trended towards greater impacts due to higher potential snow accumulations and gusty winds across most of the area.
Rain transitions to snow from west to east from late afternoon to evening today, with heavy snowfall rates possible. Winds gusting as high as 40-45mph will result in blowing snow, reduced visibility, and difficult travel overnight.
Blowing snow will continue Wednesday until winds diminish later in the day, with cold but otherwise quiet weather to end the week.
A clipper type system will bring another chance for accumulating snow Friday night into Saturday.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 307 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025

Today will be the most interesting weather day we have experienced
over the last few months with fog early, rain during the day turning
into snow later on, and significant blowing snow due to gusty winds.
To start with what is happening now, we are firmly within the low
level soup with low level stratus and fog overspreading the area
this morning, with visibility due to fog down to below a mile in
spots across the area. A few spots have dropped down to 1/4 mile
namely across portions of south-central MN from Mankato and
eastwards, with most of the area generally 2 miles or higher. The
cloud deck is just off the ground as low as around 200ft, so even
in spots that are not seeing significant fog development, the cloud
base is low enough that it will feel as though there is no
visibility regardless. Fog isn't expected to go anywhere until rain
showers begin to overspread the area, which generally occurs from
west to east from late morning to midday as the leading edge of the
incoming trough reaches western Minnesota.

The high resolution guidance from 00z last night through this
morning remains aggressive on an overall southward shift from prior
guidance closer to what the AIFS has been pushing for the last 4-5
days, resulting in significant upgrades to not only snow amounts
across much of the area but overall impacts. The upper level trough
swings through with a surface low developing as it does, with
significant lower-mid level CAA crashing temperatures into the DGZ
by 22-23z in western MN and 00-01z in the Twin Cities. These
crashing temperatures will result in efficient snowfall production
as we saturate the DGZ and still see strong forcing due to the upper
level trough and surface low, with snow rates exceeding 1 inch per
hour possible from the onset of snowfall. A trowel shows up within
most of the high resolution guidance continuing to lead to highly
efficient snow production, with a brief dry slot possible mainly in
portions of southern MN as the rain moves out and the southwestern
edge of precipitation wraps around. The heaviest snowfall will occur
within the 2-3 hours after it transitions from rain, however light
snow looks to continue at least into early Wednesday if not
lingering through sunrise and into the AM commute. Strong surface
winds are expected to form as the surface low strengthens, resulting
in winds increasing to 20-30mph with gusts as high as 40-45, even
50mph in spots from the north to northwest from the afternoon
onwards. Snow ratios in the range of 15/18 to 1 could be reduced by
the strong winds, but generally we can expect the highest snow
amounts in central MN where the strongest band is most likely to
move through with the lowest amounts still in southern MN. The range
looks to be on the order of 6-8 inches across our northern CWA, down
to 2-4 inches in southern MN and western WI from Pierce to
EAU/Chippewa based off not only the blended guidance but also input
from CAMs. This may be an event where snow totals can vary
significantly based on land usage and where one measures, as the
strong winds will make it difficult to find flat areas that are not
affected by drifting and blowing snow. Generally, if you're planning
on traveling before the holidays over the next few days, our
recommendation would be to leave either early today or wait until
later on Wednesday after the winds diminish and blowing snow becomes
less of a concern.

Gusty winds persist through daylight Wednesday, resulting in further
slow travel due to blowing snow that improves as winds diminish
Wednesday night. Temperatures at the surface will crash into the
teens by Thanksgiving morning as skies also begin to clear out on
top of the fresh snowpack, which often causes cooler temperatures
than guidance predicts as dew points can drop lower than expected.
These cold temperatures generally remain locked in through the rest
of the period and into early December with some guidance showing
single digit lows the first week of the month. Another chance for
light snow arrives Friday night into Saturday with a clipper type
feature sliding across the area, featuring a weak upper level trough
and surface low. Until we get through the short term system,
confidence remains low not only in placement but strength of any
mesoscale features, so stay tuned for further information on weekend
travel implications. Behind the weekend chances, we look to be dry
into early next week as a strong arctic high moves across the area
early in the week, leading to the aforementioned single digit
temperatures and keeping the cold air locked in.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 605 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025

LIFR conditions continue across southern/eastern MN and WI early
this morning with little improvement expected until perhaps
close to 18Z when visibilities improve slightly. Rain will
become widespread around midday, then turn to snow from west to
east this afternoon and evening. Heavy snow rates are likely for
a few hours after the turnover and visibilities could drop to
less than 1/2SM. Gradual ending of accumulating snow will occur
overnight from west to east. Northwest winds will increase this
evening and will gust to near 40kts overnight, causing some
blowing snow and reduced vis after accumulating snow ends.

KMSP...Not much improvement expected through tonight. LIFR
conditions will continue through much of the period with rain
developing through the morning. The rain will turn to snow
around 02Z, and could become heavy at times with hourly rates
approaching 1 inch/hr possible. Snow will taper off overnight,
but some blowing snow could continue through early Wednesday
morning.
