Monday will be another cold day but a warmup is on the way.
Chief Meteorologist Ken Barlow said Monday will be the coldest day for the next seven to 10 days.
Barlow said, as of 4 a.m. Monday, the temperature had been below zero degrees for 108 straight hours.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a wind chill warning, which has since expired, and a wind chill advisory Monday morning, stating dangerously cold wind chills were expected for portions of central, east-central and south-central Minnesota.
According to the NWS, parts of Minnesota, including Fairmont and Ladysmith, saw wind chills Monday morning in the minus 40 degree range.
