A cold front is bringing cooler temperatures across the entire state, plus areas of snow and rain to central and southern Minnesota.
Wednesday’s forecast
The same weather system that brought the warmer air Tuesday is now pushing a cold front across the state. The cooler air along with that front means temperatures will not rise much from where they are starting Wednesday morning. Highs will be predominantly in the 30s and 40s, which is seasonable for late March.
Because of the front, winds will also be breezier, with wind gusts occasionally in the teens. There are also patches of fog throughout southern Minnesota that will lift as the winds increase.
The precipitation with the system should stay south of a line from Moorhead to Duluth, and most of the measurable rain or snow is likely to stay south of St. Cloud.
