Despite Wednesday's storm, drought conditions persist heading into spring
Just days into meteorological spring, our focus shifts to the looming spring drought. After a record warm autumn in 2024 and a significant drought deficit, we’re relying on winter to provide the needed moisture as we head into spring.
Sunny, quiet and dry weather ahead
Temperatures are colder Thursday morning and we’ll remain cooler but near normal the next couple of days. Temperatures warm up heading into the weekend and early next week. 
Storm system winds down Wednesday
Blizzard and winter storm warnings continue into midday Wednesday. Snow showers will persist for southeastern Minnesota through midday followed by seasonably cool temperatures. 
Rain turns to snow Tuesday night
We should be prepared for anywhere from 4 inches on the low end in the Twin Cities to as much as 8 or 9 inches on the high end with parts of southeastern Minnesota potentially approaching 6 to 10-plus inches.
