Well, this is probably it Minnesota.
This is likely the coldest 24 hours of winter. Our current subzero air mass early this week is very likely the coldest air we’ll feel this winter. Wind chill readings are still in the 40s below zero across northern Minnesota Monday afternoon.
The forecast maps through the end of January suggest we may dip below zero briefly one more time, but nothing this cold is in the forecast. And rapidly increasing daylight in February makes it much harder to see teens below zero in the south.
So Monday’s low temperatures of -14 degrees at MSP Airport, our subzero high temperature, and Tuesday’s likely low around 17 below zero, will very likely be the coldest 24-hour run of the winter.
Northern Minnesota saw temperatures in the 30s below zero and a few 40s below zero Monday morning…
