Minneapolis, MN – Bitter cold will continue Thursday night as temperatures fall to -1, with wind chills as low as -15. Residents are urged to bundle up and limit outdoor exposure as frostbite can occur within minutes in these conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, snow showers may develop late Friday morning into the early afternoon, primarily impacting central Minnesota and western Wisconsin. The chance of precipitation stands at 30%, with light accumulation expected. The high Friday will reach 24, but wind chills will keep it feeling much colder.
Tonight, skies will remain partly cloudy, and winds will pick up from the northwest at 10 to 15 mph, adding to the chill. By Friday night, conditions will clear, but temperatures will dip to single digits once again.
Looking ahead, Saturday and Sunday will bring sunnier skies and slightly warmer conditions. Saturday’s high will hover around 27, while Sunday will climb to 28 with calmer winds. Next week shows promise for a significant warm-up, with highs nearing 40 by Monday, offering a reprieve from the current cold snap.
Drivers should prepare for potentially icy conditions overnight and exercise caution during Friday’s afternoon commute as light snow may reduce visibility. Road crews will be out salting key highways, but slippery patches may remain, especially on less-traveled routes.
