As expected, we started out with very chilly temperatures this Sunday morning.

The lowest reading recorded at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was 34 degrees.

Other Sunday morning low temperatures in the Twin Cities metro area included:

33 at St. Paul's Holman Field

32 in Eden Prairie

31 in Crystal

30 in Lakeville and Blaine

Our average low this time of year is 49 degrees in the Twin Cities, so our early morning lows were 15 to 20 degrees chillier than normal.

Warmer and less windy

It won't be as windy today as it was on Saturday, and high temps will be about 10 degrees warmer:

We should see lower 60s in much of southern and central Minnesota, with some 50s over the north.

Shower chance Monday

A low pressure system passes to our east tonight and Monday. It could bring scattered showers to northeastern Minnesota this evening into early Monday. There is also a chance of scattered showers over the remainder of eastern Minnesota, including the Twin Cities, on Monday:

70s later this week
