Thankfully, it won't be our first dip into winter but this is still going to get ugly! At the moment, we are anticipating our first official taste of winter in the Duluth area.

Still, this isn't much, especially considering what we are usually dealing with around this time of the year! However, it's good we are getting a little taste of winter now because an 'intense' winter storm is on the way.

Famous weather analyst Ryan Hall, known as Ryan Hall Y'all on YouTube, is tracking another system moving into our neck of the woods for the Thanksgiving holiday.

So what's in store next week for Minnesota and Wisconsin?

First and foremost, Ryan is calling this an 'intense' winter storm for Minnesota and Wisconsin but not in the way you'd think. It isn't snow that we need to worry about but those famous November winds and cold temperatures.

His talk about this storm starts at the seven minute mark. In summary, he says we will see temperatures drop twenty to thirty below average around Thanksgiving and it will be our first real 'widespread winter feel' of the season.

That's not all, though...

Ryan is also forecasting a 'stormy transition' from November to December, bringing snow to the northern part of the country, including the midwest.
