Monday starts off with snow

Northern Minnesota sees below-average temperatures

Parts of Minnesota see light snow Monday as a cold front moves across the state. 

Monday’s forecast

Monday is starting off with temperatures in the teens and single digits north and 20s for most of central and southern Minnesota. The colder than average lows north are because a cold front is draped across central Minnesota as of Monday morning, and northern Minnesota is already seeing the cooler air associated with it.

It will also cause a noticeable temperature contrast in the highs Monday, with the northern edge of the state below average in the 20s, while southern Minnesota is more seasonable in the 40s.

The front is also moving light snow across a wide section of central Minnesota, particularly in the morning hours, including for the Twin Cities.

The snow keeps heading east and clears out by late afternoon. Little accumulation is expected, with most places seeing less than an inch. 

The front completely clears through the state by evening, bringing all of Minnesota below-average temperatures Tuesday. That extended forecast will be updated by 9 a.m.
