WCCO’s NEXT Weather team is closely monitoring a significant weather pattern change that could bring multiple rounds of heavy snow to Minnesota later in the week. This shift in weather could potentially make March the snowiest month of the winter season for the Twin Cities. The workweek is expected to be fairly quiet and chilly, with a brief warmup on Tuesday before temperatures settle back into the 30s for the remainder of the week.
Thursday is when the most significant changes are anticipated, as a weather system is forecasted to move into Minnesota, possibly bringing a substantial amount of snow. This system is expected to impact Thursday evening commutes and possibly carry over into Friday morning. Following this system, cold temperatures will cause any remaining snow to stick on the ground. Looking ahead, the weekend may also see another snow event for the southern half of Minnesota, with snow chances persisting through Sunday. The rest of March is predicted to be active and seasonably chilly, with above-average chances of precipitation between March 24 and 28.
The meteorological spring has officially started, but Minnesota’s wintry season is showing no signs of letting up. Despite a relatively low amount of snow in March so far, a notable pattern shift towards the end of the month could make March the snowiest month of the winter. The WCCO’s NEXT Weather team is closely monitoring these developments, and further updates will be provided as the situation evolves. Stay tuned for the latest information on the upcoming weather changes in Minnesota.
