Rain to snow Thursday into Friday
An unusually warm storm rides into Minnesota Thursday into Friday. This system brings rain to most of Minnesota, but a couple of sloppy inches of snow could fall by Friday across the far north.
We could see some long-lost snow flurries in the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota on Friday.
Temperatures will fall back into the 30s by Friday.
It looks like we’ll finally return to near-normal temperatures next week in the 20s across Minnesota.
The average high and low temperatures for the Twin Cities next week are 28 and 12 degrees.
