Monday marked the eighth day of subzero temperatures in the Twin Cities this winter. Minnesota’s winter average is 23 days, however, so we’re well behind pace more than halfway through the season. 

Temperatures bottomed out at a respectable minus 8 degree in the Twin Cities Monday morning. Here are some select low-temperatures from around Minnesota for the past two days:

Tuesday brings another subzero morning to Minnesota. The core of the coldest air with our current air mass will slide south into the Twin Cities Tuesday morning. We should dip to minus 10 to minus 12 around the greater Twin Cities area. 

If we reach minus 12 degrees it will tie the coldest morning of winter so far in the Twin Cities. 

Wednesday brings slightly moderating temperatures. Highs recover to near 20 degrees above zero in the south. 

A reinforcing shot of arctic air arrives Thursday. By Friday morning temperatures will once again dip well below zero.

The weekend brings a chance of light snow Saturday, followed by milder temperatures and a mini-thaw.
