It’s great when we can enjoy some weekend sunshine. The Twin Cities metro area had sunshine Saturday morning and most of Sunday.

Many spots in southern and central Minnesota and western Wisconsin had highs in the 40s Sunday, with mostly 30s in northern Minnesota.

Here’s a closer look at our Sunday warmth in the Twin Cities:

If the MSP airport temperature stays above 31 degrees until midnight Sunday night, it would set a new record for our warmest Feb. 2 low temp in the Twin Cities.

As we head out the door Monday morning, temperatures are expected to be in the 20s across most of southern Minnesota, with mainly teens in the north.

Monday highs range from the teens in northwestern Minnesota to the lower 30s in far southeastern Minnesota and west-central Wisconsin:

I’m thinking that our highest Twin Cities temp during the daylight hours of Monday will be around 30 degrees.

Twin Cities high temperatures are projected to be around 20 degrees on Tuesday, followed by lower 20s Wednesday, upper 20s Thursday and mid 20s on Friday.

Most of Minnesota and western Wisconsin will see a lot of cloud cover on Monday, but we could have a few peeks of sun at times.  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s North American Mesoscale forecast model shows the percentage of cloud cover as we go through Monday:

The best chance for some glimpses of sun appear to be Monday afternoon.

Forecast models aren’t showing any big snowstorms in Minnesota or western Wisconsin this week. We may see some light snow showers Thursday and Friday.
