The Twin Cities will enjoy a mild first day of spring on Thursday before a weekend cooldown and Sunday storm.

Highs will be in the upper 40s and low 50s on Thursday.

Clouds will increase overnight as temperatures stay mild. Friday's high will near 50 before a cold front passes through, bringing spotty showers and 10-15 mph winds.

Saturday will have a chilly start with lows in the teens and 20s, but temperatures bounce back into the 40s and 50s by the afternoon.

The metro's next storm system arrives on Sunday, bringing a mix of rain and snow, especially early in the morning. Little to no accumulation is expected.

A northwest flow sticks around early next week, bringing a few chances for light precipitation, but nothing major on the horizon.
