February will decide where we land with above or below-average temperatures. Right now, the outlooks slightly favor warmer-than-average temperatures through mid-month.
Arctic chill again Thursday
There’s little chance for significant snow this week. Temperatures moderate through Wednesday with highs approaching 20 degrees Wednesday afternoon in southern Minnesota.
Another arctic front barrels south Thursday. Temperatures will fall well below zero again Thursday night into Friday morning.
Weekend thaw
This weekend brings a milder Pacific air mass to Minnesota. Highs will reach the 30s (above zero) once again this weekend through Monday.
