We’ll have to see how each of the three systems tracks, but forecast models are cranking out significant snowfall between the three systems through Monday.

We aren’t expecting any big snowstorms this weekend, but we will have two opportunities to shovel a bit of snow. Temperatures will be cool, but not overly cold.

Bitterly cold temperatures should ease into the teens by late afternoon Friday. Three clipper systems in the coming days each bring a chance of some fresh fluffy snow.

It’s another bitter cold morning early Thursday: temps are in the teens and negative 20s with wind chills in the negative 20s and 30s. We have another subzero night Thursday night. Temps modify this weekend, into the teens but also some light snow chances return Friday and Saturday nights.

Yes, it’s cold — but not even close to records.

Daylight is rapidly increasing now in Minnesota. Soon it will be light until 6 p.m. on clear evenings.

The next two weeks deliver multiple shots of subzero arctic air into the Upper Midwest. The first shot came in with shocking speed. Temperatures could reach minus 30 in northern Minnesota Thursday morning.

Highs hit the 40s across southern Minnesota Tuesday. Wind chills will be closer to minus 40 up north by Wednesday morning.

An arctic air mass blows into Minnesota starting Tuesday through Wednesday and Thursday. Wind chill advisories cover all of northern Minnesota and run right up to the western Twin Cities late Tuesday through Wednesday morning.

Snow continues Tuesday across northern Minnesota. In the northwest, strong winds will bring near-blizzard conditions in the Red River Valley. A Canadian cold front drops temperatures by late in the day.
