It’s a rare colder-than-normal day Friday. Highs will be mostly in the teens with partly cloudy skies. Temperatures warm back up over the course of the weekend. 

Chilly Friday but warm air is back next week 

Temperatures are chilly this Friday morning with wind chills in the single digits across southern Minnesota and even near 20 below zero in parts of northern Minnesota. 

Highs Friday will range from 10 degrees in the north to about 20 south. A northwest breeze at 10-20 mph will keep it feeling colder throughout the day.

It’ll be another chilly night for many with lows falling back into the teens and single digits overnight Friday.

The weekend looks mainly dry with just some scattered clouds. Highs Saturday will be close to normal — in the 20s and low 30s — and Sunday will be even warmer.

The breeze Friday will keep things chilly again but while Saturday will be warmer, it will also get quite blustery as warmer air returns. Wind gusts will be near 30 mph at times Saturday afternoon.

Temperatures next week will be very mild again, melting much of the fresh snow we just received. An upper-level ridge of high pressure will build back into the region bringing much warmer than normal temperatures yet again.

We have a high likelihood of above normal temperatures throughout the central United States.

High temperatures by midweek will be well into the 40s across central and southern Minnesota to potentially near 50 degrees for some.
