Mild temperatures will return Wednesday. A southwesterly flow will push our temperatures well above normal. Expect afternoon temperatures from around 30 in the northeast to the low and mid 40s in the southwest. The Twin Cities should have a high around 39 under mostly sunny skies with a southwest breeze of about 10 mph.
Thursday will be even milder. High temperatures will be mostly in the 40s with some upper 30s lingering in the northwest.
Rain and snow chances Friday into Saturday
Areas of rain and snow will spread into northern Minnesota on Friday and work their way toward southern parts of the state later in the day and Friday night. Temperatures will be on the edge of rain versus snow. The precipitation type could go back and forth as temperatures warm and cool.
It looks like about the northern half of Minnesota could get some accumulating snow while southern parts, including the Twin Cities, should see mostly rain with maybe a little snow mixed in at times.
