Plenty of clouds, but mild

Our weekend weather will be good for outdoor activities.

We won't have to deal with any bone-chilling cold or dense fog today or Sunday.

The weather will be fine at the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships at Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis this weekend, but it won't be as sunny as it was on Friday:

We could have a passing flurry today and Sunday.

Mild temps

Highs Sunday will be in the teens in northeastern Minnesota:

Most of Minnesota will see highs in the 20s on Sunday.

Highs in the 30s are on tap for the Twin Cities Monday and Tuesday. Highs in the 20s are expected next Wednesday through Friday.

NOAA’s GFS model shows Twin Cities high temps in the teens on Feb. 6 and Feb. 10.

Those would be our coldest days in the second week of February:
