Good morning, Minneapolis! This is your Weather Whisper bringing you the chilly scoop for the next few days.

Buckle up, because winter is giving us the cold shoulder! Overnight, we're looking at mostly cloudy skies with temperatures holding steady around 34 degrees. Expect a south wind around 15 miles per hour to keep things interesting.

Friday brings a bit of drama with isolated snow showers after 5 PM. Temperatures will play a roller coaster game rising to near 38 degrees by late morning, then taking a nosedive to around 30. Winds will be breezy, switching from west southwest to northwest at 10 to 20 miles per hour, with gusts potentially reaching 35 miles per hour. There's a slight 20 percent chance of precipitation, so keep that winter jacket handy!

Friday night gets seriously cold. Expect isolated snow showers before 10 PM, then gradually clearing skies. Temperatures will plummet to around 2 degrees, with wind chill values dropping to a bone-chilling negative 13 degrees. Northwest winds will howl at 15 to 20 miles per hour.

Saturday continues the winter wonderland theme with mostly sunny skies but a high of only 7 degrees. Wind chill will make it feel like negative 16 degrees. The northwest wind will persist at around 15 miles per hour.

The cold doesn't quit! Sunday sees a high of negative 2 degrees, and Martin Luther King Day brings another frigid day with temperatures barely reaching negative 6 degrees.

By midweek, we'll see a slight warmup, with temperatures climbing to a balmy 20 degrees by Wednesday.
