Gradual warming trend and peeks of sun into the weekend.

An April snowfall is piling up across much of northern Minnesota.

Following rain and snow Tuesday, the rest of the week trends drier. Temperatures stay cooler, running near to below average for the next week.

Tuesday stays cloudy and cool, with more of the state getting light snow.

Major pattern flip from June-like warmth to a March relapse.

Our April snow is here: A few inches of slush up north and a few flakes for Twin Cities.

Areas of rain and snow target Minnesota through Wednesday morning. Then, more sunshine and seasonable April temperatures return the second half of the week.

Temperatures turn cooler Monday, and under the influence of that chillier weather, parts of Minnesota will see snow.

I know, we really could use some sunshine. We’ll have to be patient. Rain and snow are in the forecast for portions of Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

Most of us will have clouds Sunday afternoon and evening. Some areas will also see rain. We have details on that, plus a look at the wet snow that’s in the Monday forecast for parts of northern Minnesota.
