Minneapolis, MN – Bitterly cold temperatures will grip Minnesota on Thursday as an arctic air mass drives wind chills down to -20°F. Residents should bundle up, as frostbite can occur within minutes in these conditions.

According to the National Weather Service, highs Thursday will reach only 0 to 10°F, with sunny skies offering little reprieve. Gusty winds will create dangerously low wind chills through Thursday morning, gradually improving by evening. Those traveling or spending time outdoors should limit exposure and dress in layers.

A gradual warming trend is expected Friday, with highs climbing into the mid-20s. However, a wintry mix of snow, freezing rain, and sleet is likely late Friday night into Saturday morning. Drivers should remain cautious, as roads may become slippery during the morning hours.

By Sunday, milder conditions will take hold, with highs reaching 35 to 40°F, bringing relief after days of frigid weather. Mostly cloudy skies will prevail, but no significant precipitation is expected to close the weekend.

Residents are advised to monitor the forecast for updates, especially regarding Friday night’s wintry mix. Stay safe by limiting travel during icy conditions and checking for alerts on road closures.
