Similar to Tuesday, Wednesday brings another day of milder temperatures relative to the rest of the week.
Wednesday’s forecast
Although definitely not the coldest morning Minnesota has seen recently, the state is starting off frigid again, with morning lows ranging from the negative 20s north to a few single digits south.
Under mostly sunny skies, highs will be similar to Tuesday, with single digits for the southern half of the state and negative single digits north.
Despite this being 15 to 25 degrees below average, between Tuesday and Wednesday the state is seeing the mildest weather of the week.
However, the wind chill is still dangerously cold with northern Minnesota under a wind chill warning until 10 a.m. for “feels like” temperatures as low as minus 35, and the area has a wind chill advisory in effect through Sunday due to the persistent cold.
Already by Thursday, temperatures start nudging colder again, with most of the state spending another extended period below zero through the weekend. That arctic forecast will be updated around 9 a.m.
