MINNEAPOLIS — An arctic blast arrived in Minnesota on Monday, bringing frigid temperatures and bitter wind chills.

Highs across the state will be in the single digits, and even colder in spots. Wind chills will be near minus 20 degrees, with gusty winds up to 35 mph. Temps will fall below zero overnight, the eighth time the Twin Cities has dealt with subzero lows so far this season.

Tuesday will be mostly sunny and cold, with highs in the single digits to low teens. Wind chills will again be brutal in the morning.

Highs will rise into the mid-20s on Wednesday, then into the 30s on Thursday and Friday, with some fog also possible due to melting snow.

The mild air comes to an abrupt end this weekend as cold, dry air rushes in from up north. This will drop temperatures sharply.

Expect highs in the single digits and lows below zero, with potential for the season's coldest air so far.

Also, there's no snow in sight in the metro for the next several days.
