We’re ditching the deep freeze this weekend as light snow moves in and temperatures begin to moderate.

Out with the cold, in with some flakes. Attention turns to the weekend as a fast-moving clipper system tracks along the U.S.-Canadian border. A band of light snow is expected to develop Saturday night and linger into Sunday.

Snowfall rates will be light, but the duration of the system should allow accumulations to add up. Most areas are expected to receive 1 to 1.5 inches by the time the snow tapers off Sunday morning. 

Parts of northwestern Minnesota, including areas near the Red River Valley, could see totals closer to 2 inches.

Temperatures will finally start to turn the corner as we tap into some milder Pacific air. Highs on Saturday will climb into the teens with plenty of sunshine, and by Sunday we’ll be closer to normal, with upper 20s to even low 30s across southwestern Minnesota.

We’ve earned this one, Minnesota. Enjoy the weekend.
