Thursday’s forecast in Minnesota 

What to expect:

As a winter storm wraps up Thursday morning, a winter weather advisory remains in effect for the Twin Cities until 8 a.m., and until noon for the Arrowhead region. This system brought several inches of snow to the metro, 5–10 inches across northern Minnesota, and 1–3 feet along the North Shore.

Once the snow clears, the afternoon turns fairly quiet and seasonable, though a few lingering flakes or flurries can’t be ruled out. Skies remain mostly cloudy with northwest winds at 5 to 10 mph. 

Highs reach the low 30s for central and southern Minnesota, with 20s expected in northern and western regions. The Twin Cities metro will top out at around 32 degrees. 

Clouds linger Thursday night as temperatures cool into the teens and low 20s. A separate system could bring snow to far southeastern Minnesota Thursday night into Friday morning.
