Snow will persist through Sunday, with temperatures dropping following the passage of our latest weather system. Arctic cold will settle in at the start of the workweek, but temperatures are expected to rise by Wednesday.

It looks and feels like winter as our latest low-pressure system moves out over the Great Lakes region. Snowfall totals show the metro area received around an inch of fresh powder, with higher amounts to the north of Interstate 94. The Brainerd area and North Shore saw up to six inches, while the North Shore is expected to get an additional 2 to 4 inches, with some areas along the shore receiving up to 4 to 8 inches. 

Northwest winds will range from 15 to 25 mph, with gusts exceeding 30 mph. Due to the freshly fallen snow and breezy conditions, blowing snow is likely to create travel disruptions. 

As additional snow is expected on Sunday, Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect.

Temperatures will continue to drop, reaching the mid-teens by late Sunday afternoon. Western and northern areas can expect afternoon temperatures in the single digits.

Cold start to work week before 30s return

A chilly start to the work week as highs struggle to make it into the single digits above and below zero for Monday and Tuesday. 

Arctic sunshine will prevail throughout the week as temperatures gradually warm back into the 20s and 30s by Wednesday. By Thursday, southwestern Minnesota could even see temperatures reaching the 40s.
