Slick spots and colder overnight into Friday, then weekend warm-up

Good evening! Today was a gorgeous day with plenty of sunshine highlighting that bright new snowpack! Overall most of the metro saw 3″ to 6″ of snowfall February 14th, with an officially record high snow total yesterday of 6.9″ for the Twin Cities (previous record 6.4″ in 1950).

Tonight is a colder, but still seasonable a night, with increasing cloud cover and lows down to about 11° in the metro. I expect a lot of single digits for lows in the suburbs. With breezy winds tonight into tomorrow, it will feel like the single digits throughout your Friday forecast.

We’ve seen a lot of melt today, which will mean refreeze overnight, with slick spots tonight into your Friday morning commute. A few light snow showers even flurries are possible tonight into early tomorrow morning. However, the chance for a few flakes is more likely across southern Minnesota and into Iowa. Despite a chilly Friday, temperatures warm back into the low-30s Saturday, with a mix of sun and clouds and breezy winds. Expect more cloud cover in northern Minnesota Saturday, with a few light snow showers possible Up North.

Sunday’s highs are in the mid to upper-30s with mostly sunny skies. The warm-up continues into next week with high temperatures back in the mid to low-40s through midweek. When it comes to any precipitation, we stay mainly dry through the upcoming 7day.

Have a wonderful night!
