Temperatures will steadily rise overnight and remain mild throughout the night.
Highs on Sunday will be above average, reaching the mid 30s, but low cloud cover and fog will overshadow the day.
Multiple systems this week
A very active weather pattern this week with multiple systems affecting different parts of the state. Sunday night into Monday a surface low tracks across the Canadian Provinces and into the Great Lakes. Tuesday into Tuesday night, we could see some light snow for southern Minnesota and Thursday into Friday another system affect northern Minnesota.
Despite all these systems, only minor accumulation is expected. Temperatures will start to fluctuate again, with warm highs on Monday, followed by a cold front and a cooldown mid-week, then a return to milder temperatures later in the week.
