Frigid Thursday in Twin Cities before brief warmup, more snow
MINNEAPOLIS — After a bitter cold morning with wind chills near minus 30, Thursday will be mostly sunny, with temps in the single digits.
Winds won't be much of an issue, though wind chills will stay below zero degrees for the day. As the day continues, clouds will move in ahead of our next storm.
Friday features a brief warmup to near-normal temperatures in the 20s, before snow develops in central Minnesota during the afternoon and spreads eastward.
Snow continues Friday evening with 2-4 inches expected in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Isolated higher totals are possible near Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The metro could see about 1-3 inches of snow.
Cold air returns on Sunday, with wind chills staying below zero and strong winds making it feel even colder.
Frigid temperatures persist Monday through Wednesday of next week, with daytime wind chills in the minus 10s to minus 20s and nighttime lows as cold as minus 30 in western Minnesota.
