A jolt of cold air is coming ... eventually.
Don't write off winter yet.

Flirting again with record highs Wednesday
The alleged winter of 2023-24 has been mostly a Marchlike haze.

It won't be like this every winter going forward, but the El Nino winters may be extra-mild and snow-free

Record warmth expected statewide Wednesday
If the sun stays out all day (likely), we should see low to mid-50s.

Cold, Sun/Cloud Mix Friday - Warming Into Next Week
While we see another quick blast of colder air across the region to end the week, we will see warmer temperatures as we head into next week with 30s expected. That will come with at least a little increased chance of precipitation. - D.J. Kayser

Southern Minnesota Snow Thursday
We're tracking a clipper that'll bring some snow to areas from St. Cloud to the Twin Cities southward on Thursday - with a half inch for the metro but around 2" for Worthington. Colder air moves in behind that for a few days - but 30s are likely next week. - D.J. Kayser

Touch Of March Possible Next Week
A cold and quiet week continues with a reinforcing slap of numbing air on Friday gives way to a slow weekend warming trend. I see 30s pretty much every day next week. In fact weather models hint ice or rain by midweek. Bizarre swings in weather, but not that unusual for January. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Pacific Thaw On Tap For Next Week
we should see some sunshine today with a stiff breeze and temperatures about 5-8F "milder" than yesterday. 2 or 3 more nights below 0F late this week; then we finally thaw out. In spite of this Siberian slap, January may wind up milder than average. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

No Humidity Or Bugs This Week
It'll be a cold week ahead, possibly the coldest week of the winter. Milder air returns this weekend and into next week with temps returning to above average levels. No major snow storms brewing anytime soon. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Probably The Coldest Week Of Winter
This week's numbing winds come with a side serving of sunshine. The next chance of a snowy coating comes Thursday. I'm always amazed how good 30s feel after a numbing week like this. A milder Pacific breeze returns next week. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

A Little Snow - A Lot Of Cold
It turns out the forecasts earlier this week (of a couple inches) will probably be closer to the mark. What happened? Too much cold air pushing the storm track farther east. Maybe 1-3" inches of fluff for the metro, but plowable for southeastern Minnesota and much of Wisconsin. Eastern Wisconsin, Chicago and much of Michigan will see near-blizzard conditions.

A Peek Or Two Of Sun Thursday? Watching Snow Thursday Night Through Friday
Quiet weather is expected on Thursday in the metro (with snow in northern Minnesota). We'll watch another central U.S. system for the end of the week that'll bring at least southern/eastern Minnesota some snow. How much? Depends on overall track. - D.J. Kayser
