Chilly But Sunny Thursday


The system that brought rain and wintry weather to the metro Tuesday and Wednesday will be out of the picture as we head into Thursday. In fact, we'll see mainly sunny skies! It'll be a chilly day, though, as temperatures start off in the mid-20s and climb to around 40F. With strong west winds it'll feel more like the 20s in the afternoon - probably a good thing, then, that the Twins Home Opener was postponed!

Winds stay strong during the day Thursday, out of the westerly direction with up to 30 mph wind gusts. These winds will finally start to calm down a little as we head toward Thursday Night.


A few snow showers will linger across northern Minnesota Thursday, otherwise, fairly quiet and sunnier weather is expected as you head into central and southern portions of the state. Highs will range from near 30F in northern Minnesota to near 40F in southern parts. These highs are at least 10-20F degrees below average.

First 60s Of 2023 Expected For Easter Weekend

Good Friday: Warmer weather arrives with highs climbing to around 50F under sunny skies for Good Friday and the Twins Home Opener. It won't be as windy, with easterly winds at mainly 5-10 mph.
Friday Night into early Saturday: We will watch the chance of a few light rain or snow showers as we head through Friday Night into early Saturday across eastern Minnesota. Any amounts should be light.
Rest of Saturday: Mostly cloudy skies stick around, but we watch our first chance at 60F for 2023! That'll be on the back of strong southerly winds gusting to 25 mph.
Easter Sunday: We'll start off sunny, but I can't rule out a few afternoon showers around southern Minnesota. Highs look to climb into the mid-60s with southerly winds up to 15 mph.
