Minneapolis, Minnesota – A milder-than-normal February pattern is expected to develop across Minnesota through late week, bringing warmer temperatures for this time of year and limiting opportunities for widespread snowfall. While winter is far from over, the overall setup favors a quieter stretch compared to recent colder periods.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, the 6–10 day outlook from February 10–14 favors above-normal temperatures across much of Minnesota. Precipitation probabilities remain near normal, suggesting a low likelihood of significant or disruptive snow events during the period.
In the Twin Cities metro, including Minneapolis and St. Paul, daytime highs are expected to trend above seasonal averages, while overnight lows hover closer to the teens and 20s instead of plunging deeper into subzero territory. Any precipitation that develops would likely be light, with brief snow or mixed precipitation possible but minimal accumulation expected. Travel along Interstates 94, 35, and Highway 52 should see fewer winter-related issues than typical for mid-February.
Farther north, including parts of central and northern Minnesota, occasional light snow remains possible, but totals are expected to stay limited under the warmer pattern. Drivers should still watch for slick spots during overnight temperature swings.
This warmer-than-normal, low-impact pattern is expected to persist through late week, though forecasters note conditions could change if colder air returns. Additional updates or advisories may be issued if snow chances increase.
