Hope you enjoyed that nice long warm fall, Minnesota. National Weather Service forecasts show some bitter cold descending on the state next week.
The NWS Weather Prediction Center is forecasting highs of only 6 degrees on Tuesday for southern Minnesota with below-zero temperatures for northwestern Minnesota.
The Twin Cities NWS reinforced the point with a series of big deep purple blobs showing an arctic air mass sliding down from Canada.
Federal forecasters gave the Upper Midwest a heads-up in October that a La Nina effect would likely deliver a cooler-than-normal winter.
The frigid news for next week came on the same day the NWS noted that Fall 2016 was the warmest on record for Minnesota, Wisconsin, and six other states.
Anyway, time to bundle up.
