Temperatures warm into the upper 40s, with 50s out west. Cloud cover and a clipper system will keep northern Minnesota cooler, with highs in the 30s.

Light snow accumulation, ranging from a dusting to half an inch, is possible for the northeast.
Overnight temperatures will be mild, lingering in the 30s, with clear skies as we move our clocks forward by one hour. The fresh snow for northeastern Minnesota will keep them cooler in the upper teens to low 20s.
Sunday is expected to bring mid-50s with plenty of sunshine, giving us very spring-like temperatures. It's a nice preview of April, as mid-50s are more typical for mid-April than mid-March! A few spots out west could reach into the 60s.
Rollercoaster of temperatures this week
After our warm weekend, temperatures will fluctuate between the 60s to the 40s, before warming back up to the 50s and 60s by the end of the week.
Late next week, a strong spring storm system will target the Upper Midwest. Temperatures should be warm enough for mostly rain showers, but there's still plenty of time for conditions to shift before then.
