Light snow Monday; Chilly all week

A Rather weak weather system will continue to spread light snow across Minnesota on Monday. Most of the state except maybe the northwest corner should get at least a dusting. Total amounts into Monday night are likely to be from one to three inches. A winter weather advisory for slightly greater amounts of two to four or five inches has been issued for south central Minnesota including the Mankato area from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Monday.

A winter weather advisory is also in effect for Lake and Cook counties of the Arrowhead until 6 p.m. on Tuesday. Accumulations in excess of six inches are possible in the higher terrain near the North Shore.

For the Twin Cities, accumulations of mostly around one to two inches are likely although local spots could get a bit more.

Chilly, then cold

Temperatures will remain on the chilly side. Highs on Monday will be from the upper 20s to low 30s, with the Twin Cities likely coming in around 30. Winds will be light, so drifting will not be an issue.

Tuesday and Wednesday will also be on the chilly side of normal. Then look for much colder temperatures for Thursday through next weekend. By Friday and Saturday, many highs will be just in the teens.
