It’s very cold out there.

Highs will be near zero all weekend, brushing into the negatives Sunday and Monday. Wind chill temperatures bring that to around 30 degrees below zero.

Snow, in some areas blowing, is likely Friday night into Saturday. Expect reduced visibility in the area throughout the weekend and into next week.

From the National Weather Service: “Hazardous wind chills from 25 below to 35 below zero are expected, mainly along and west of the Red River Valley. As north winds increase by afternoon, patchy blowing and drifting snow is possible in open country along and west of the Valley.”

This cold and snow is the story across the state. We’ve got safety tips and what to do if your power goes out.

Minnesota and the nation are in the midst of a COVID-19 surge according to the latest wastewater and hospitalizations data. While Minnesota’s wastewater data does not show as dramatic an upturn in COVID-19 as nationwide data shows, hospitalizations for COVID-19 in Minnesota are now matching the highest levels seen in 2023.

Laugh away the winter blues with Brittany Brave at the Comedy Cellar on Friday or Saturday night.
