Classic winter weekend
Our weather pattern turns to a more typical winter setup this weekend. Expect a mix of clouds with a few sunny breaks. Highs will run mostly in the 20s across Minnesota right through Monday.
Little if any snowfall is likely into early next week.
Colder late next week?
There are signs of colder air as we move into the last days of January. Right now the pattern doesn’t look super arctic, but lows below zero are possible especially in northern Minnesota late next week.
