Here we go again. We’re likely going to set some more warm temperature records this week across Minnesota. 

Another surge of mild Pacific air ahead of that massive California atmospheric river storm will pump warmth our way. Then that same system will bring rain to Minnesota and some snow by Thursday and Friday. 

We’ll see more fog again overnight into early Tuesday morning across most of western and central Minnesota.

The fog should burn off in the morning again. Then sunshine will help boost temperatures back into the 40s and 50s across Minnesota. 

Keep in mind as you scan these maps the normal high and low for the Twin Cities this week are 25 and 10 degrees!

Wednesday may bring a few more clouds, but milder temperatures persist.

Thursday brings a mild February rain to much of Minnesota, transitioning to some snow in the northwest. 

Record highs are between 50 and 53 degrees Through Thursday. We have a chance to break a record on any one of those days. 

Our inbound weather system will produce mostly rain Thursday across Minnesota. But colder air will produce some snow especially northwest and across northern Minnesota by Friday.
