Cooler Monday into Tuesday then a warm up

Cooler air is in place for the start of the week behind the weekend snow storm. We’ll see high temperatures mainly in the 20s to low 30s Monday afternoon which is about 10 degrees below normal to even almost 20 degrees cooler than normal in the western part of the state.

The extent of warm air, and specific storm track are still a bit up in the air but regardless, it appears Minnesota will be soaked with up to one inch or more of liquid equivalent precipitation and the potential for some heavy snow too. As usual, stay tuned.
