Updraft®

While it’s early, the Canadian model shows a trend toward mostly rain for the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota Thursday into Friday, with a potential shot of snow as the system sweeps by through Friday night. There may also be a little thunder with this system.

Northern Minnesota gets a fresh coating of snow Tuesday. Wednesday’s colder statewide with subfreezing highs. Rain, snow and even thunder develop late Thursday into Saturday.

Snow showers will spread across northern and central Minnesota Tuesday with potential snow squalls in northeast Minnesota. Temperatures will be colder Wednesday. A larger storm brings rain and snow Thursday into Saturday.

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.
