Freeze and frost concerns Sunday night

High pressure will remain in control Sunday night, keeping skies clear to mostly clear across Minnesota. With very little wind and plenty of dry air in place, temperatures will drop quickly after sunset. Low temperatures will plummet to sub-freezing temperatures, especially for areas in the Arrowhead and north-central Minnesota.

Farther south, temperatures will generally fall into the upper 30s to low 40s across the rest of the state. While most locations will stay above freezing, the combination of clear skies and light winds will allow frost to develop in rural and low-lying areas.

The good news is that this chilly air won't stick around for long. Once the sun comes up Monday morning, temperatures should begin climbing quickly, setting the stage for a much warmer stretch of weather ahead.
