After a busy weather day on Saturday, cooler and calmer conditions will settle in for Sunday. Temperatures will be slightly below the seasonal average, but warmer air will return by Monday. A new weather system is expected to develop midweek, bringing the potential for accumulating snowfall to portions of the state. 

High pressure will bring a return of sunshine on Sunday. Temperatures will range from the upper 30s to low 40s in the metro area and south, while northern and central Minnesota, which saw some fresh snow, will experience cooler temperatures in the upper 20s to low 30s.

Back below freezing for the state Sunday night, with the metro area hovering around the freezing mark. 

Cooler temperatures in the upper teens are expected along the border, with a weak system bringing light snow accumulation to the Northland.

Monday will bring the warmest temperatures of the week, with highs in the 50s and 60s returning to the forecast. 

Southern Minnesota will experience breezy winds at 10-20 mph, with gusts reaching up to 30 mph.

A low-pressure system will move out of the Rockies and head toward the Upper Midwest between Tuesday and Wednesday. Forecast models are inconsistent about its exact track, with some suggesting it will shift further north, while others keep it further south. 

If the system follows its current path, southeastern Minnesota could see accumulating snowfall, with winds picking up, leading to blowing and drifting snow. 

The weather will calm down for the rest of the workweek, with seasonal temperatures on Thursday and highs in the 40s and 50s expected for Friday.
