Minnesota braces for frost and freeze warnings midweek before weekend warmth
A cold and breezy Wednesday is set to hit Minnesota, bringing frost and freeze warnings across much of the state. The Twin Cities will see a slight warm-up later in the week, but chilly mornings and a chance of weekend showers remain in the forecast. Frost and freeze alerts are active for Wednesday morning, covering the metro area, southeastern Minnesota, and parts of central and western regions. A frost advisory lasts until 8 a.m. in the Twin Cities, while a freeze warning affects other areas. Highs on Wednesday will struggle to rise, reaching only the 40s and 50s.
Thursday will start cold again, with another risk of frost and freezing temperatures overnight. Conditions improve by Friday, as lighter winds and sunshine push highs into the 60s.
The weekend brings a mix of weather. Saturday stays mild, but clouds will thicken, and a slight chance of showers lingers. Mother’s Day on Sunday looks dry and seasonable, with highs returning to the 60s. The week begins with freezing temperatures and frost warnings, particularly on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. By Friday, warmer and calmer weather arrives, setting up a mostly dry and mild weekend. Only a small chance of rain on Saturday could briefly disrupt the improving conditions.
