Good morning, Minneapolis! This is your weather update, coming in hot (or should I say, cold) from the National Weather Service Twin Cities office.

Buckle up, winter warriors, because we're in for a chilly ride! Tonight, expect a mostly cloudy sky with temperatures dipping down to a brisk 7 degrees Fahrenheit. That northwest wind will be howling around 10 miles per hour, so make sure to bundle up.

Friday brings a slight reprieve with mostly sunny skies and a high of 13 degrees Fahrenheit. The northwest wind will be a bit more persistent, blowing between 10 to 15 miles per hour.

As we roll into Friday night, get ready for a real freeze. Temperatures will plummet to around 0 degrees Fahrenheit, with wind chill values making it feel like negative 12 degrees. Talk about a winter wonderland!

The weekend follows a similar frosty pattern. Saturday will be mostly sunny with a high of 12 degrees Fahrenheit and wind chill values around negative 11. Sunday looks slightly more forgiving with partly sunny skies and a high of 13 degrees Fahrenheit.

Looking ahead to next week, we'll see temperatures gradually climbing. Monday will hit a whopping 17 degrees Fahrenheit, which might feel like a tropical vacation compared to the previous days.

Pro tip: Layer up, keep those extremities covered, and maybe consider a nice warm beverage to keep your spirits high during this Minnesota deep freeze.
