NEXT Weather: April warmth in January, with record-breaking high Wednesday
MINNEAPOLIS— Wednesday morning's fog cleared early, setting us up for lots of sun to help temperatures soar to record levels in the 50s.
The daily record high of 46 degrees, set in 2009, should be shattered Wednesday with highs climbing to or beyond 50 degrees.
This is the 14th time on record that temps have reached into the 50s in January. Usually, it only happens once a decade. This will be twice this month.

A weak front pushes in Wednesday night, bringing back some clouds, patchy fog and perhaps a stray sprinkle or freezing drizzle. Minimal impacts are expected.
That boundary knocks temps back a little, but we stay well above average with highs in the 40s through the first week of February.
Precipitation chances remain negligent for the next seven days with just a mix of clouds and sun.
If you're looking for a change, we may not see one until we get closer to the second week of February. There are some signs of colder winter temperatures in the distance.
