Mild Sunday temps; passing morning flurry possible
Snow depths are good for outdoor fun
This will be another good day for outdoor winter fun.
Some spots in Minnesota and western Wisconsin could see a passing snow flurry this morning, but most of us will have a dry day.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s North American Mesoscale (NAM) forecast model isn’t showing any organized precipitation in Minnesota from 9 a.m. Sunday to 10 p.m. Sunday:
You can find updated weather information for Minnesota and western Wisconsin on the Minnesota Public Radio News network, and on the MPR News live weather blog.

Sunday highs
Sunday highs will be mainly in the 20s:
A few spots in southern Minnesota and the Twin Cities metro area could touch 30 briefly. Our average Twin Cities high temp is 26 degrees this time of year.
Plenty of snow cover
If your Sunday plans include sledding, cross-country skiing or snowboarding, you’re in luck; the weekly snow depth map from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources shows plenty of snow cover across most of Minnesota.
The official Twin Cities snow depth at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is 10 inches right now. Some spots in southern Scott County, in the southwest metro area, have more than 15 inches of snow cover.
The purple shaded areas from Pine County through northeastern Minnesota have snow depths of 18 inches or more. The light-purple shaded areas in northeastern Minnesota have 24 to 30 inches of snow cover.
