Winds remain strong Monday as March storm pulls away.
A couple inches of snow possible from a quick system Tuesday night.
Temperature whilplas! Bitterly cold temperatures kick off the week, then return of above freezing by Wednesday, with snow melt intensifying into the weekend.
Even though the massive March storm will be long-gone by Monday morning, winds will remain strong behind the storm leading to blowing snow all day.
The combination of strong winds, snowpack on the ground, and cold air streaming in will lead to a return to wind chills as cold as 15 below zero Monday into Tuesday morning.
There will be no rest for the snow weary, because another quick-moving system will bring a dusting to a couple of inches of snow Tuesday through Tuesday night.
By Wednesday, the thaw will begin as southerly winds begin pumping in warmer air. By Friday this will mean high temperatures into the 50s! This will torch the snowpack, leading to rapid melt into the weekend.
Dare I say, Minnesota mud-season is on the way??
