Currently in the Twin Cities — November 17, 2023: Much cooler

The weather, currently.

After yet another incredibly warm day, a cold front is bringing a sweeping change in temperatures. November temperatures are running more than five degrees warmer than normal so far past the half way point of the month.

Look for subfreezing lows Thursday night and highs Friday in just the low to mid 40s but with sunshine. Those readings are actually still a degree or two above the normal high of 41. The weekend looks rather nice with sunshine and highs back up to near 50. Rain showers develop late Monday into Tuesday, mixing with a bit of snow Tuesday as colder air arrives. Next week will bring highs in the upper 20s by midweek.

What you need to know, currently.

Everyone deserves to thrive. Everyone is worthy of a better world. That’s why we’re building a weather service for the climate emergency.

Currently’s new weather service is now live. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be continually adding more features and opening up more slots as we develop the service.

But for now, space is limited in the weather service because I want to make sure we can provide the highest quality service we possibly can while we work to refine the system with your input.

If you’d like to put your name on the waiting list, be sure to fill out our baseline survey if you haven’t already which will hold your spot in line.

Our goal — as always — is to co-create the most personalized, most informative weather service that exists. And, above all, to make this service accessible, equitable, and resilient enough to bring safety and joy to the climate emergency.
