Harmfully cold Monday starts frigid week, but warmer temps in sight
Dangerous cold has prompted a NEXT Weather Alert through early Tuesday.
An extreme cold warning is also in place for the entirety of Minnesota and Wisconsin's western part through Tuesday morning.
Wind chills as low as minus 40 will linger through 10 a.m., with low temperatures between minus 20 and minus 30. Highs across the state will be near or below zero.
The cold has caused some schools in Minnesota and western Wisconsin to announce closures and delays, including in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
A cold weather advisory is likely Tuesday night before the dangerous cold is put to bed.
By Friday, the metro should warm into the 20s. Highs will reach into the 30s by this weekend with a shot at 40 on Sunday.
There's no snow in sight, so it is all about the cold and eventual warming. It looks to stay mild into next week.
