The chance of major flooding this spring on some rivers continues to be much higher than normal spring probabilities. Snowfall and the slow thaw continue to be major factors. March 2011 serves as a good comparison of a snowy season with a more normal thaw.

Temperatures will be several degrees or more warmer for much of Minnesota Friday. We’ll also have more sunshine. The weekend should continue mostly dry weather for most of Minnesota.

The Twin Cities and southern Minnesota have a shot at 50 degrees next week. Models also suggest another weather system that may bring another rain-snow mix toward the middle of next week.

We don’t expect much weather drama in Minnesota or western Wisconsin this weekend. We have your weekend weather details.

Thursday will again be below normal but with more sunshine, especially up north. Friday should be closer to normal temperatures. There are signs of warmer readings late next week.

Thursday will bring decreasing clouds but still cooler than normal temperatures ranging from the upper 20s northwest to 40 in the southeast. Winds will be lighter. Expect a boost in temperatures Friday into the weekend.

An early spring weather pattern emerging for the rest of this week.

Our latest snow dumped significant snowfall across northern Minnesota.

Morning snow showers and freezing drizzle will linger along the North Shore. Skies across Minnesota will remain mostly cloudy. It’ll be breezy with snow showers along the Minnesota-Iowa border overnight into Thursday. Temps will be milder by Friday. 

Snow showers will linger in the arrowhead early Wednesday. It will be breezy with west winds 10-20 mph. Highs will range from the 40s southeast to the 20s northwest. More snow showers are possible in south Minnesota Wednesday night.
