Well, at least it was a glorious weekend.

Our weather takes an October-y turn this week. Temperatures crash as cold Canadian air pours south one more time. In fact, several waves of unseasonably cold air pour south across the Midwest this week.

Temperatures will feel more like October as we head through this week and into early next week. Highs in the 50s to near 60, and overnight lows in the 30s run 5 to 10 degrees colder than average for the Twin Cities this week. 

The average high and low for the Twin Cities this week are 67 and 46.

Our inbound rain system fades as it moves east into Minnesota Tuesday. 

Western Minnesota will see soaking rains between a half inch and 1 inch in many areas. The Twin Cities and eastern Minnesota will have to make do with sprinkles and light rain.
