Spring in Minnesota is like a dance. Two steps forward, one step back.

Our stealthy overnight snowfall draped a fleeting coating of white on the ground Monday morning from the Twin Cities into Wisconsin. 

The thing about overnight snow in March? It usually vanishes by noon.

The sun is breaking out at the Weather lab Monday afternoon. We enjoy mixed sunshine Tuesday. Milder air seeping in will push highs to around 50 the next two days in southern Minnesota. Highs make the 40s up north.

We cool a touch late this week. The weekend looks milder, and right now Sunday looks like your sunnier, better day of the weekend.

A few showers favor central and northern Minnesota Tuesday afternoon. A more organized system arrives Wednesday. Expect widespread rain across the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota. Precipitation may transition to snow north of the Twin Cities Wednesday. 

A few models suggest a storm passing south of Minnesota Friday into Saturday. Let’s see how they handle the track in the next couple of days.
