A cold front moved through the area Friday night, ushering in a cooldown that drops today’s highs 20–30 degrees from Friday’s record warmth.

Falling temperatures with gusty northwest winds

After our record-breaking temperatures Friday in the low 70s, Saturday’s temperatures will feel chilly, especially with gusty northwest winds behind a cold front.

Our next chance for precipitation arrives Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning. The system will mainly impact southern Minnesota, with the potential for light snow totaling less than an inch.

Precipitation may begin as rain as early as Monday afternoon, quickly changing to snow as temperatures fall below freezing after sunset.

Central Minnesota, including the Twin Cities, could see some flurries with this system, depending on how far north the precipitation shield extends.
