A nice beginning to 2016

Our December 31st high temperature was only 20 degrees in the Twin Cities, and the low was 7 degrees. It was our coldest day of the month, and the chilly readings prevented us from finishing with the second warmest December in Twin Cities history.  This December is likely to end up being the third warmest on record, which is still impressive!

High temperatures will rebound on New Years Day:

rt11h2

Saturday will be bright and mild for much of the region:

rt12h2

High temperatures could dip slightly on Sunday:

rt13h2

It will be a nice start to 2016.

As we close the book on 2015,  we should mention that the Minnesota State Climatology Office compiled a list of the top five Minnesota weather events of 2015. The second warmest Autumn in Minnesota history took top honors, and the complete list can be found at Top Five .
