The cold will linger this week but the worst is definitely behind us. We have a couple of light snow chances this week then temperatures rapidly warm up for next week.

Wind chill warnings in southwestern Minnesota and wind chill advisories for the rest of the state are set to expire at noon Tuesday. Wind chill values will still be cold through the day, just not as dangerously so. 

High temperatures should be above zero for most of Minnesota except for far northeastern Minnesota Tuesday afternoon. We should also see sunshine in southern Minnesota. 

It’ll be cold again overnight Tuesday night but less so than last night. The Twin Cities may not drop below zero.

Highs Wednesday will again be mostly in the single digits to possibly even 10 degrees in the Twin Cities.

We do have a couple chances of light snow. The first is Tuesday into Tuesday night for northern Minnesota. Another will come Thursday for southwestern Minnesota. 

Both snowfalls look pretty minor but some models do drop an inch or a little more for southwestern Minnesota Thursday.

The upward temperature trend will be very slow this week but by Sunday seasonable temperatures return and most of next week looks above freezing for highs in southern Minnesota. 

The eight to 14-day outlook from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center calls for a 70 to 80 percent likelihood of above-normal temperatures. 

Temperatures in the 30s next week will be 50 degrees warmer than the readings we saw just a day or two ago.
