Snow today into tonight, followed by unseasonable cold

Good Saturday morning! Here’s your Saturday morning forecast for January 11th from Meteorologist Wren Clair:

A Winter Weather Advisory is in place for northern Minnesota and west-central Minnesota this afternoon through noon tomorrow. Snowfall totals within the advisory area end up with 3″ to 5″ by early tomorrow AM.

We’re waking up to relatively mild temperatures for mid-January, with temperatures in the mid to upper teens. Your weekend forecast looks more active than most of the winter weather that we’ve seen as of late.

Low pressure tracks southeastward into Minnesota today, moving into from our northwest. Scattered light snowfall is possible this morning at times, but most of the accumulating snowfall for the metro area will be in the afternoon and night tonight. One to two inches of snowfall is likely across the Twin Cities.

High temperatures today reach 28 degrees, with mostly cloudy skies today through tomorrow. Winds pick up out of the northwest overnight into your Sunday forecast. This means our overnight lows in the mid to low-20s will be our Sunday high temperatures. Falling daytime temperatures and blustery northwesterly winds will make for a cold Sunday forecast.

Count on a cold start to the workweek with single digit highs and lows well below zero.

Have a wonderful day!

Wren
