Accumulating snow is moving out of Minnesota overnight, but some freezing fog is possible late Sunday night and early Monday morning
A few snow showers are possible over northern Minnesota on Monday.
Mild Monday temps
Our average high is 30 degrees this time of year in the Twin Cities, but we should top out in the mid 40s on Monday.
We'll share highs in the 40s with much of southern and central Minnesota, and northern Minnesota will see 30s.
An arctic cold front moves through on Tuesday:
Our Twin Cities temperature will start out in the upper 20s Tuesday morning, then temps will fall through the 20s through the rest of the day.
Highs Wednesday will be in the teens over northern and central Minnesota, and they'll struggle to reach 20 degrees in the Twin Cities:
It'll be windy on both Tuesday and Wednesday, and wind chill temperatures could dip below zero at times on Wednesday.
You'll need your warmest gloves and mittens again on Thursday and Friday, as temperatures stay below normal.
