Weekend warmup ahead with 40s in the forecast
Temperatures will warm as we head into the weekend, with light snow showers possible near the border and North Shore. Another round of precipitation is expected early next week, with northern Minnesota likely to experience the heaviest impacts.
Big weekend warmup with light snow north
Warmer air is already moving in Friday and making for a mild weekend. Light snow showers move through northern Minnesota Friday and Saturday. We’re also monitoring a storm system for Monday. 
One more cold night before temperatures warm dramatically
Temps will dip once again tonight but begin to warm Friday. Highs will be in the 40s for southern Minnesota this weekend. Light snow is possible north. 
Another chilly Thursday with warming temperatures into the weekend
High pressure settling into the region will bring clear skies and bright arctic sunshine for Thursday. Temperatures will climb into the upper teens, though wind chills will remain in the single digits, before a significant warmup arrives this weekend.
Wind, weather advisories into Wednesday night; big weekend warmup
Gusty northwest winds will continue overnight but will be a little lighter. Temperatures and wind chills will be frigid into Thursday before a big weekend warmup. 
Windy with falling temperatures Wednesday into Thursday
Behind a cold front, temperatures will fall through Wednesday with gusty northwest winds. We’ll see subzero wind chills statewide Wednesday night into Thursday morning before warming up. 
Plummeting temperatures for Wednesday with light snow
Mild overnight temperatures will continue through Tuesday evening and into early Wednesday, but an arctic front will drop temperatures sharply into the single digits by Wednesday evening.
More snow showers on the way for northern Minnesota
Another clipper system will bring more snow to northern Minnesota. Wednesday will be briefly milder before colder air slides back into the state. 
Roller coaster temperatures with light snow showers this week
Cloudy skies and persistent northwest winds will persist until a shift to southerly winds ushers in warmer temperatures for Tuesday and early Wednesday. Another blast of arctic air will arrive Wednesday, causing temperatures to drop back into the teens, with a chance of light snow.
Not as cold Monday; more snow showers possible Tuesday
Temperatures will rise into midweek before becoming briefly colder again Thursday. We also have several light snow chances.
