Snow overnight into Monday will slow our Monday morning commute

The Sunday afternoon computer model information didn’t show any major changes in the Sunday evening through Monday snow pattern.

Accumulating snow moves into portions of west-central and northwestern Minnesota late this Sunday afternoon/early Sunday evening and spreads to the east and southeast as we go through the remainder of Sunday evening and the overnight hours of Sunday night. Snow lingers through much of Monday morning, then tapers off from west to east Monday afternoon.

Arctic chill moves in after the snow

It’ll also be windy on Monday.

Tuesday highs are in the single digits below zero across much of northern Minnesota and slightly above zero in the south:

Our coldest morning will be on Wednesday, with teens below zero in many locations:

Some spots in central and northern Minnesota will probably dip into the 20s below zero early Wednesday.

Twin Cities metro area highs are projected to reach about 4 above zero on Wednesday, followed by lower 20s Thursday and around 30 on Friday. That’ll be a welcome temperature rebound late in the week!
