Minnesota – A cold snap is expected to sweep across Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin, bringing freezing temperatures and frost early next week.
Residents are urged to take precautions as morning temperatures on Monday and Tuesday are forecasted to dip into the mid-20s to 30s. The National Weather Service warns that lows below freezing will mark the end of the growing season, affecting any remaining outdoor plants. This early frost will particularly impact the agricultural community, as crops may be susceptible to damage.
The forecast indicates a cooler start to the week, with highs between 50 and 55 degrees through Tuesday. Temperatures will rebound slightly by Wednesday, reaching the upper 60s, but the initial frost will serve as a reminder of the approaching winter.
Protective measures should be taken, particularly for sensitive vegetation and water lines. Ensuring garden plants and hoses are shielded from the cold could prevent frost damage. This frost warning follows a weekend of rain showers, which will usher in the colder temperatures. With frost setting in, residents are reminded to prepare for a chillier week ahead and expect seasonal weather to continue cooling off in the coming days.
