Sleep in Saturday morning

Image of computer forecast of surface temperatures and pressure for Saturday morning. Dark red is a forecast of less than 30 below zero at 6am Saturday.

Hope you are enjoying the relatively comfortable temperatures and the sunshine this afternoon. We are in for a character building spell of cold weather to start the New Year.

High pressure settles over Minnesota Saturday morning setting the stage for ideal conditions to radiate surface heat back into space.

Interesting to note on the computer forecast the coldest readings on Saturday morning will be where the winds go calm and the snow pack is deep in southwest Minnesota. And of course the Ice Box of the Nation, International Falls will check in with 30 below zero as well.
