Bitter cold settles in with much of Minnesota under extreme cold warning
Extreme cold has officially arrived in Minnesota with high temperatures on Sunday topping out around 8 degrees and the wind making it feel even cooler.
In the Twin Cities, feels-like temperatures will top out around -8 before dipping down to -20 overnight. Temperatures are even more frigid up north with wind chills expected to reach 50 below.
An extreme cold warning is in effect for much of the state, with parts of southern and eastern Minnesota as well as western Wisconsin under a cold weather advisory.
Hennepin County and counties to the east expect to see -35 wind chills from midnight to 10 a.m. Monday. Areas under extreme cold warning are expecting to see -40 wind chills during the same time frame.
The coldest air of the season is expected to move in Monday night. Temperatures will remain dangerously cold through Wednesday. A slight warm-up is expected to come Thursday heading into the weekend, when temperatures will return closer to average — around 30 degrees.
Temperatures look to continue warming into the end of the month.
