A clipper system will deliver another layer of snow later Tuesday into Tuesday night. Warmer air flows back into the state Wednesday and into the weekend. 

Another coating of snow on the way, then a rapid warm up 

It’s a frigid start across the region. Many are awaking up to their coldest readings since the end of January across southern Minnesota. We’ll start with sunshine, but clouds will increase ahead of an incoming clipper-system. Temperatures will be a bit warmer, mostly in the 20s and teens this afternoon, but still below normal. 

Snow showers will develop by late Tuesday morning and midday in western Minnesota and expand east through the afternoon and evening hours. Most snow will wrap up shortly after midnight.

A large swath of the state can expect generally 1 to up to 2 inches of fresh snow. There could be a few isolated pockets of 3 inches. 

There’s a winter weather advisory posted Tuesday for northwest Minnesota.

Warmer air is already on the way for Wednesday and temperatures trend upward through Saturday. Highs Wednesday will be in the 40s for much of the state with some sun breaking through the clouds. Another clipper system will deliver a few late day rain showers to portions of central and northern Minnesota on Wednesday.

By Friday and Saturday, highs will beback in the 50s for many with 60 degrees even possible in the Twin Cities by Saturday. Southwest Minnesota could be near 70.
