Flurries linger Wednesday in Twin Cities ahead of arctic blast
Tuesday's storm is gone, but some lingering flurries will slide through the Twin Cities on Wednesday.
From Tuesday to early Wednesday, 4.1 inches fell at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, the National Weather Service said.
Dozens of Minnesota schools are closed or delayed on Wednesday due to the snow.
No notable accumulations are expected amid Wednesday's flurries, with temperatures hovering near 20 degrees all day.
A clipper on Thursday will throw some light snow to southwestern Minnesota, but will miss the metro.
Cold will be the focus, with morning lows in the single digits and highs only in the teens.
Another clipper Friday morning has a better shot to throw some light snow at the metro. It could leave some slick spots for the Friday morning commute, but amounts will be minimal.
Temps tumble big time behind the clipper, going from the teens Friday afternoon to below zero Saturday morning.
It stays bitterly cold all weekend with highs Saturday near 0 and wind chills in the minus teens.
Sunday morning will be the coldest period before we rebound back into the 20s by Monday afternoon.
Temps stay closer to average next week with no major storms on the horizon at this point.
