A disturbance is producing some rain showers that will mix with snow in portions of northern Minnesota Thursday morning. Briefly colder air moves in with it also. 

Some scattered precipitation Thursday then colder for Friday 

We have some scattered areas of rain showers moving across portions of central and northern Minnesota Thursday morning. In northwest and northeast Minnesota, some of those showers will mix with snow occasionally. Most activity will move east and southeast by midday. 

Temperatures will hold steady or even fall through the day Thursday with late afternoon temperatures in the 40s south to just teens and 20s north.

It will be a colder overnight with subfreezing temperatures statewide. Southern Minnesota will see overnight lows in the 20s with just single digits in far northern Minnesota.

Friday will see highs mostly in the 30s and 40s, which is actually only about 5 to 6 degrees cooler than normal compared to our highs Wednesday which were 20 to 30 degrees above normal.

We warm back up over the weekend with 50s returning to southern Minnesota Saturday afternoon and highs at least in the 60s by Sunday into Monday and Tuesday of next week.

We’re also watching next week as the pattern becomes potentially more active and stormy. We’ll be watching a couple systems that could bring both rain and snow to Minnesota.
