Temperatures will be more seasonable Monday and Tuesday before a prolonged stretch of very mild weather. Precipitation chances will mainly be limited to northern Minnesota.

Seasonable start to the week 

Monday will be warmer than Sunday with highs in the 30s in southern Minnesota and 20s north. Areas of fog in the morning should burn off as southwest winds increase to 10-20 mph. Low clouds will hang on to much of northern and eastern Minnesota most of the day.
