The holiday is starting off with areas of fog in northern Minnesota, light snow in southern Minnesota and temperatures that remain below average.

A band of very light snow is making its way through southeastern Minnesota Monday morning. 

There are also areas of fog reducing visibility for portions of northern Minnesota. Because the morning temperatures are subzero for the areas seeing fog, it is freezing fog, which could cause some slick areas. 

Both the fog and the snow should be over by midday. 

All except the southeastern corner of the state is starting off below zero Monday morning, and the northwestern corner of the state is under a wind chill advisory until 12 p.m. (highlighted in blue) for wind chills that could feel like minus 30 to minus 40. 

The entire state will be cold for Monday, with temperatures mostly 10 to 20 degrees below average, ranging from highs in the single digits west to teens for eastern parts of the state. 

There will be much more sunshine though, with northern Minnesota seeing sunny skies most of the day and southern Minnesota becoming partly cloudy once the light snow moves out. 

You can hear my live weather updates on Minnesota Public Radio at 7:48 a.m. Monday through Friday morning.
