Warm temperatures are on the way, accompanied by breezy southwesterly winds. Seasonal highs expected on Saturday, with 40s and 50s returning by Sunday into Monday. An active weather pattern will bring a few brief opportunities for a wintry mix. 

Low temperatures will stay on the positive side of zero for Friday night, with breezy winds out of the southwest at 10 to 20 mph. 

A well-deserved warm weekend is ahead. Temperatures rise above freezing on Saturday, approaching our seasonal high.

Even warmer temperatures are expected for Sunday with highs in the 40s. In southwestern Minnesota, the Buffalo Ridge region could possibly reach the 50s.

A zonal flow pattern will bring multiple chances for precipitation, but with warmer temperatures it will likely fall as a rain-snow mix.

Several disturbances will move through starting Sunday with one system passing late Monday into Monday night and another expected on Wednesday.

We’ll wrap up meteorological winter with above-average temperatures all next week.
