The seasons are shifting, and this week will offer a true sign of spring. Highs are expected to reach the 50s by Tuesday, with increasing chances of rain by Friday.

High pressure will bring clear skies Sunday night, allowing temperatures to drop into the single digits across northern Minnesota, with upper teens and 20s across central and southern parts of the state.

The workweek will begin with highs in the mid-30s to low 40s, near seasonal averages.

A warming trend will bring 40s and 50s back to the forecast by Tuesday, with temperatures continuing to climb through Thursday, when some areas could see their first 60-degree reading of the season. 

Colder Canadian air is expected to remain north of the state until a larger system on Friday pulls cooler air into the region.

The pattern becomes more dynamic late in the week, with a stronger system expected to move across the Plains Thursday night and reach the Upper Midwest by Friday. This system lacks strong cold air, so snow chances remain low. Widespread rain and mild temperatures are more likely as it moves through.
