Wednesday is going to continue the trend of the past two days with cold weather, breezier conditions in the afternoon and light snow chances.

Much like the past two days, Wednesday is starting off very cold for April. Morning temperatures are in the single digits and teens, and only a couple locations managed to stay in the 20s overnight. 

Temperatures remain about 15 to 20 degrees below average into the afternoon, with highs in the 30s. 

It will be breezier again in the afternoon, with winds gusting 10 to 20 mph. Some scattered afternoon snow showers or flurries develop by afternoon.  Less moisture is available than the past two days, so the snow is likely to be lighter and the snow showers will be less widespread. 

Sprinkles could also mix in with the light snow, and any precipitation should end by evening.

You can hear my live weather updates on Minnesota Public Radio at 7:48 a.m. Mondays through Fridays.
