Dangerous cold sees school closings extend into Tuesday in Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS — Some schools and organizations in Minnesota are announcing additional closings for Tuesday, following a wave of closings Monday amid dangerous cold.
Minneapolis Public Schools and the Anoka-Hennepin Public School District, among many others, will all be closed for the day. Many other schools across the state were previously scheduled to be off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day but with students expected to return to classes Tuesday, a number of schools are getting ahead of the potentially dangerous conditions.
Extreme cold warnings are in effect across the entire state through Tuesday at noon.
WCCO meteorologist Lisa Meadows says Tuesday will see temperatures back up to the single digits, albeit still with below-zero wind chills. There are opportunities for light snow going into the rest of the week.
