Friday and Saturday will be cold before a rapid warmup builds into Minnesota. Highs will be in the 30s to near 40 degrees next week.

A couple more cold days before milder weather 

Cold air is reinforced across the region in the wake of yesterday’s disturbance that brought snow to far southern Minnesota. Highs Friday will be mostly in the single digits. There are wind chill advisories in the southwest, southeast and northeast corners of the state as well.
