Cold holiday weekend could end with light snow – Chris

Happy holiday weekend! It’s a cold start with morning temperatures in the teens, but if that’s not cold enough, wind chills have been in the single digits, and in some cases, below 0. Highs this afternoon should make it to around 30, and clouds will be on the increase by the evening.

Saturday will be cloudy and cold. The clouds are brought by a storm system passing by to our south, but a few flurries are also possible, especially south of the Twin Cities metro. Highs will be in the lower 30s, but wind chills will stay in the 20s. Keep this in mind if you’re headed to the Battle for the Axe at Huntington Bank Stadium.

Sunday will be mostly cloudy, and a reinforcing cold front dropping out of Canada will bring a chance of snow showers late morning and towards midday. The ground will be solidly frozen at this point, so any flake that falls will stick. A quick dusting to half an inch will be possible, along with gusty winds as the falling snow departs. Highs will once again be in the lower 30s, but it’ll feel much colder in strong wind gusts.

Next week looks mainly dry, but a warming trend could send temperatures back into the 40s by next weekend.
