Most of Minnesota will see warmer high temperatures today, but it will be breezy. Sunday highs in the 50s are projected for southern Minnesota, while the north will see mostly 40s:

Far northwestern Minnesota may stay in the 30s.

Southern counties of Minnesota could see a few scattered showers today, but the real active weather will stay well to our south.

Severe Weather Awareness Week

The Storm Prediction Center of the National Weather Service indicates a risk of severe weather today and tonight from the Texas panhandle to southwest Missouri:

We should start thinking about our severe weather season.

April 11 through April 15 is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Minnesota and Wisconsin. More details can be found at Severe. Statewide tornado drills are scheduled for this coming Thursday.

Cold and windy Monday

A low pressure system to our east will give us cold northwesterly winds on Monday:

Northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin will see some snow showers at times on Monday:

I would not be surprised to see a few flakes in the northeast metro on Monday. That would confuse a few robins!

Highs Monday will be about 15 degrees below normal:

Warmup kicks in on Wednesday

Tuesday will be a bit warmer than Monday, but the serious warmup starts on Wednesday:

We should see highs in the 60s Wednesday and Thursday, and we could touch 70 on Friday and Saturday. That's more like it!

I hope that you enjoy your Sunday!
