Weekend thaw ahead
Temperatures will rebound rapidly this weekend. Highs will reach the 30s across southern Minnesota by Saturday afternoon.
The longer range outlooks favor warmer than average temperatures for the next two weeks across Minnesota.
Looking at the forecast models, Friday could be the last subzero morning for at least the next week, and possibly two weeks for southern Minnesota.
We’ll still likely see more subzero mornings this month, but it may be a while.
Stay tuned.
