Spotty snow showers to roll across Twin Cities Thursday, into Friday

A clipper diving south will bring spotty, light snow showers through Thursday afternoon across the Twin Cities, as well as areas north of the Interstate 94 corridor.

This will also briefly warm the metro up into the low 30s with breezes out of the south and southwest.

Accumulations will be light, staying under an inch.

More energy will pivot through on the back side of this system Thursday night through Friday, meaning even more spotty, widespread snow.

Amounts remain light with the greatest totals — 1 to 3 inches — across the Arrowhead and into northern Wisconsin.

Winds turning out of the northwest, gusting up to 35 mph, will drop temperatures all day.

The metro will go from the low 30s Friday morning to the single digits by Saturday morning.

Cold is the theme this weekend with highs in the single digits Saturday and teens Sunday.

Wind chills will be between minus 10 to minus 20 for most of the weekend in the metro, and even colder — minus 30 to minus 40 — across northwestern Minnesota.

Another clipper brings a dose of scattered light snow Sunday with accumulations staying under an inch.

High pressure returns early next week, locking temps into the teens and providing a quiet pattern.
