The chilly air has settled around and is sticking around a few days. It will lead to at least patchy overnight frost potential. More-seasonable temperatures return for the weekend. 

Another chilly day Wednesday before temperatures warm up

It’s a frosty or even freezing start across much of Minnesota and it’ll be another pretty chilly day across the region. Afternoon highs will warm into just the low 50s for southern Minnesota and just around 40 in far northern Minnesota. 

Just like the last couple of days, we’ll start with some sun, but clouds will fill in pretty quickly midday into the afternoon Wednesday due to the unseasonably cold air aloft and strong May sunshine, generating instability. 

Temperatures jump upward on Thursday with low to mid-60s across southern Minnesota. We’ll also see the chance for a couple of isolated showers with a fairly weak disturbance moving through. 

Friday will bring temperatures near 70 degrees, which is back above normal highs which are in the mid-60s for the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota.

Weekend temperatures will be seasonable, mostly in the 60s. We’ll have another spotty shower chance on Saturday. Temperatures will continue the upward trend next week with 70s by midweek and the possibility of 80s late next week.
