The week starts warmer but ends colder. The pattern also remains active with disturbances bringing snow chances late Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week.

Pattern remains active with a mild start to the week and a cold end

We get a reprieve from the cold air Monday and Tuesday. Highs Monday will be in the 20s across southern Minnesota with teens north. Skies will be mostly cloudy however, so hopefully you enjoyed some of the cold sunshine Sunday. 

Snow showers will develop Monday afternoon across northwest Minnesota and spread east across much of northern Minnesota into the evening and overnight. 

There’s a winter weather advisory Monday into Monday night for northeast Minnesota. Then a winter storm watch takes effect Tuesday into Tuesday night for much of northern and central Minnesota.

Accumulations will be mostly in the 1 to 3 inch range for northeast Minnesota late Monday and Monday night with some pockets of 4 inches possible along the North Shore. 

Tuesday will be even warmer with above-freezing highs in southern Minnesota. In fact, southwest Minnesota could reach 40 degrees Tuesday afternoon. 

Another system brings more snow Tuesday with potentially a wintry mix of precipitation in the Twin Cities and across central and southern Minnesota before turning to all snow.

Several inches of snow could fall across central and northern Minnesota Tuesday into Tuesday night.

Another disturbance brings more light snow Thursday and drag down some bitter cold air to end the week. Friday and Saturday will see mostly single-digit highs with subzero nights again.
