Monday night will bring our lowest temperatures of the season so far for much of the state. Look for widespread lows in the single digits to maybe around 10 in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Highs Tuesday remain cooler than normal but a bit warmer and with lighter winds.
Milder pattern develops with a possible weekend storm system
We’re in a cold northwest flow pattern aloft to start the week, keeping things cold. But by midweek a zonal flow returns where air moves west to east in the upper levels. That will bring milder air with temperatures at or above normal.
Wednesday will bring highs into the 40s across southern Minnesota with mostly 30s into the weekend.
We’ll need to keep an eye on a storm system that could affect parts of Minnesota over the weekend. Most models agree on a system bringing rain and snow to the Upper Midwest late Saturday into Sunday.
While it’s early to get specific, snowfall is possible somewhere in southern Minnesota.
