A second clipper comes through Minnesota Friday bringing more light snow showers.

Much colder this weekend

Behind the Friday snow showers will come the coldest air in over a month. Arctic air that’s been bottled up on the other side of the hemisphere will finally return to Minnesota. High temperatures will fall into the single digits and even below zero for northern Minnesota Saturday and Sunday. Overnight lows will plunge below zero statewide and for the first time this month in the Twin Cities.
