Warm-up starts Wednesday, but bitter cold returns this weekend
MINNEAPOLIS — Wednesday begins an ascent to warmer days in the Twin Cities, but another harsh drop is ahead.
Though the forecast high is in the upper 20s, the metro won't reach that until late in the evening. It'll be a cold morning, with warmer air arriving late as clouds will increase throughout the day.
A round of light snow — that may turn into freezing drizzle — will make its way through the Twin Cities, extending to the north and the east. This system will be a dusting at best.
However, for westering Wisconsin and the Arrowhead region, they could see less than a half an inch of snow.
Temperatures will warm overnight, as oppose to falling like the last several days.
Thursday and Friday will bring mild conditions, with highs in the mid-30s.
The cold returns this weekend, with possibly the coldest air of the winter moving in on Sunday. Highs will be near zero with vicious cold overnight. Monday is likely to stay below zero.
Expect that cold weather to continue until a potential warm-up late next week.
