Cold, windy Monday with a clipper bringing more snow showers Tuesday 

Well, mother nature delivered on our March snowstorm. Numerous locations in southeast Minnesota and the southern Twin Cities metro area reported more than a foot of snow with some places reporting a foot and a half or more! Winter weather advisories continue for southeast Minnesota including Austin, Rochester, Albert Lea through 10 a.m. Monday, mainly due to blowing snow and snow covered roads. 

In its wake, it’s cold and windy Monday. Highs will be in the teens mostly which is about 10 to 30 degrees below normal. 

Winds will blow at 15-30 mph Monday from the north and northwest. That will make it feel like its subzero all day long for most of Minnesota. 

Temperatures Monday night will dip into subzero territory for most of the state. It’ll be our coldest night since the end of January in the Twin Cities. The coldest it got all of February was 2 degrees.

Tuesday will remain chilly but a few degrees warmer. Clouds will increase and snow showers will develop in western Minnesota, expanding east into the afternoon and evening from a clipper system.

A wide area of 1 to 2, to even 3 inches of fresh snow will fall from northwest Minnesota through central and southern Minnesota.

We’ll have another clipper system deliver some scattered rain showers Wednesday as warmer air starts to move back in. Highs will be in the 40s for southern Minnesota Wednesday and we’ll likely see 50s by the end of the week.
