Monday started with a light wintry mix and a few slick spots in the Twin Cities, but conditions will settle into a quiet and fairly mild afternoon.

Temperatures will run warmer than normal for late December with highs in the mid-to-upper 30s.

Clouds and some fog could limit how warm it actually feels. Southwestern Minnesota stands the best chance to break through the clouds and warm up more noticeably.

Temperatures will remain above average heading into Christmas, with highs in the mid-to-upper 30s for the next several days. 

Looking ahead, one system bears watching for rain on Christmas. There will be light snow up north.

There's a chance for a light rain-snow mix on Saturday as temperatures drop. It'll be cooler on Sunday, with highs around 20. It'll be breezy, too, making it feel even cooler.
