The combinations of clearing skies, light winds and low dew points in the 20s make for likely frost into Tuesday morning. Temperatures will likely hover a few degrees above freezing in the inner Twin Cities 494/694 urban core, but it’s going to be close.
Temperatures will dip closer to 32 degrees in some Twin Cities suburbs.
The chilly high-pressure system shifts east Tuesday afternoon, and the southerly flow around the backside of the high brings milder temperature the rest of the week.
Tuesday will be a classic spring day with sunshine, light winds, and highs in the 60s.
