Below-normal temperatures will continue to prevail this week but so will a slow thaw. Snow showers will bring a coating of snow to central and northern Minnesota Tuesday into Tuesday night. A larger storm could bring more rain and snow Thursday into Saturday.

Quiet Monday; snow coating for some Tuesday

We’ll have a decent, quiet Monday with a mix of high clouds and sunshine. High temperatures will be below normal still, ranging from the low 40s in the southeast to just the teens in northwestern Minnesota.

A quick moving clipper system will bring snow showers to much of Minnesota midday Tuesday into Tuesday night.
