Good morning, Minneapolis! This is your weather update, and boy, do we have a chilly tale to tell today!
We're looking at an extreme cold warning that's no joke. Overnight temperatures are plunging to a bone-chilling negative 20 degrees, with wind chill values dropping to a frigid negative 35 degrees. Bundle up, folks - this is serious cold!
Tuesday brings slightly warmer temperatures, but don't get too excited. We'll see a high of just 9 degrees, with wind chill still feeling like negative 35 degrees. Expect increasing clouds and winds from the south-southwest at 5 to 15 miles per hour.
Tuesday night gets interesting with a 30 percent chance of snow and flurries before 1 am. Temperatures will rise to around 14 degrees by 5 am, with wind chills around negative 11 degrees.
Wednesday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 27 degrees, and a chance of flurries in the late afternoon. The weekend looks a bit more pleasant, with temperatures ranging from the low teens to high twenties and mostly sunny conditions.
Pro tip for all you cold-weather warriors: layers are your best friend right now. Think thermal underwear, multiple insulating layers, and a windproof outer layer. And please, check on your neighbors, especially the elderly and those who might need extra help during these extreme temperatures.
