MN weather: Mild President's Day, storm coming Wednesday?

FOX 9 Meteorologist Cody Matz has your President's Day forecast. We remain mild to start the week before our next system arrives on Wednesday, bringing rain and snow to MInnesota.

The Brief

    • Presidents' Day will see temperatures in the 50s in the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota, with sunny skies.
    • Tuesday will bring a change to the nice weather as a system pushes in, bringing snow for northern Minnesota.
    • By the end of the week, high temperatures for the metro are expected to fall back into the 30s.

(FOX 9) - Presidents' Day in Minnesota is shaping up to be sunny and warm with high temperatures pushing into the low 50s in the metro. But a change is coming for the midweek.

Presidents' Day forecast

What we know:

Monday will bring beautiful conditions with lots of sunshine and temperatures reaching the 50s in the Twin Cities and across southern Minnesota. A light breeze from the north will keep things pleasant.

Further north, temperatures in northern and central Minnesota will top off in the 40s.

Twin Cities snowfall so far

By the numbers:

FOX 9 Meteorologist Cody Matz says the Twin Cities is at 29.6 inches of snowfall for the season so far. That’s slightly below average for mid-February, when we typically have 35.2 inches.

It feels like more, because this time last year we had just 16.1 inches of snow. Two years ago, we only had 14.2 inches.

Wednesday storm update

What's next:

A storm system coming from the West Coast will bring some significant changes to the state. The northern third of Minnesota will likely see at least six inches of snow, starting late Tuesday night and extending into Wednesday. Areas impacted extend from Thief River Falls to Bemidji, Grand Rapids to Duluth and Grand Marais.

Detroit Lakes, Brainerd and Pine City are on the southern edge of the system. The Twin Cities is expected to get mostly rain, but snow showers can’t be ruled out.

High temperatures in the metro will fall back into the 30s by the end of the week.
