St. Patrick's Day snow in the Twin Cities, then a fast warmup

Tuesday gets off to a quiet start before snow develops in the afternoon and into the evening in the Twin Cities.

Highs will be in the 20s, with 1 to 3 inches of accumulation with slick roads for the evening commute.

Light snow will continue through the night and could linger into Wednesday morning, causing some slick spots on the roads.

Wednesday gets off to a chilly start, then temperatures rebound to near 40 degrees. Roads improve as melting begins.

A noticeable warmup occurs between Thursday and Saturday with highs climbing into the 50s by Saturday — ramping up snowmelt.

Sunday will still be mild overall with a low chance of a rain or snow mix from a passing system.
