MN weather: Bright and frozen Friday

Expect a bright and frozen day before a dash of light arrives Friday night. FOX 9 meteorologist Cody Matz has the full forecast.

A chilly Friday kicks off with sunshine, but a cold front is set to bring light snow and lower temperatures by the evening.

Friday’s forecast in Minnesota

What to expect:

It’s a quiet start to Friday, but temperatures remain below freezing, leading to any and all rain turning to ice overnight. We'll see a cooler and brighter day overall, with the Twin Cities metro reaching a daytime high of around 32 degrees. 

A cold front rolls through the state this evening and tonight, bringing chillier temperatures for the weekend and a quick dash of light snow late this evening and overnight. This will not be heavy, but areas along and east of the Interstate 35 corridor could get up to an inch of snow with this band.

What's next:

Temperatures slide into the low 20s by sunrise on Saturday and will hold there for the rest of the day as breezy northwest winds bring in colder temperatures. There are some redeveloping snow showers in the afternoon hours, but any additional accumulation will be a dusting at most. 

Expect a seasonable and quiet Sunday before warmer temperatures in the 30s return early next week.
