Chilled sunshine through Wednesday. Then another rain and snow chance.

The frequent freeze-thaw cycles mean the 2 to 7 inches of water that were trapped in the snow cover are releasing more slowly into area rivers, and that may be slightly easing our significant flood risk this spring.

Below-normal temperatures will continue to prevail this week but so will a slow thaw. Snow showers will bring a coating of snow to central and northern Minnesota Tuesday into Tuesday night. A larger storm could bring more rain and snow Thursday into Saturday.

Temperatures will be cooler than normal this week still with a chance of a coating of snow Tuesday night. A more significant system will bring rain and snow to Minnesota late this week.

Cooler temps are expected Monday into Wednesday, and parts Minnesota could see some flakes at times. We have the details for you.

Our sun-splashed Sunday will give way to more clouds on Monday, with a chance of flakes in northern Minnesota.

This is a nice way to finish the weekend. We’ll have sunshine and moderate breezes in most areas.

We enjoyed typical March weather on Saturday. Our temps will retreat a bit on Sunday, but the coolest temps don’t arrive until midweek. We have details on all that, plus a look some impressive snow totals in parts of Wisconsin.

We won’t have much weather drama in Minnesota this weekend. Parts of Wisconsin will see heavy snow continue into Saturday afternoon.

We’ll have fairly typical March weather across much of Minnesota today, but parts of Wisconsin are dealing with heavy snow.
