Twin Cities "warms" to above zero Sunday before dangerous cold returns

A NEXT Weather Alert is in effect until 11 a.m. Monday for wind chills as low as minus 30 degrees in the Twin Cities.

Cold weather advisories are in effect for all of Minnesota from Sunday night through Monday morning.

Sunday's high temperature will peak just above zero in the afternoon hours under a partly sunny sky.

Winds pick up a little Sunday afternoon, but even more so Sunday night — driving wind chills back as low as minus 35.

This will likely be the metro's longest stretch below zero since February 2021, but it was the coldest air since January 2019.

Temps stay below average all week in the teens for highs.

A clipper system will move through northeast of the metro Monday evening, dropping about an inch of light snow in northern Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

Temps may reach the 20s in the metro by next weekend.
