Twin Cities, MN – Minnesota will see unseasonably warm temperatures this week, with highs reaching the 40s and 50s through Friday. Scattered light rain showers are expected Monday and Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service, these above-average temperatures will accelerate snowmelt. Residents should clear gutters and storm drains to prevent localized flooding. Warmer air will also create slick conditions at night when melted snow refreezes.
In Grand Rapids, skies will turn partly cloudy tonight, with lows dropping to the upper teens and middle 20s. Cooler nighttime temperatures could lead to icy roads in some areas.
The warm spell offers a break from winter’s deep freeze, but rapid melting could create standing water on roadways. Drivers should stay alert for changing conditions.
Experts recommend checking drainage systems and removing snow buildup to minimize flooding risks. With additional rain possible midweek, keeping water pathways clear is crucial.
Stay informed with the latest forecasts as conditions shift throughout the week.
