Light snow returns for much of Minnesota Monday

Highs will be cooler than the past couple days

Monday sees temperatures return closer to average after a mild weekend and light snow will move across northern Minnesota.

Monday’s weather

Monday is starting off very mild for this time of year, with much of the state in the 20s, thanks in part to cloud cover that lingered through the overnight. However, because a cold front passed through on Sunday, high temperatures in the 30s will not be as warm as some places saw over the weekend, although that is still above average.
