Brace yourselves, because winter is making a dramatic comeback over the next couple of days—but don’t worry, a gradual warming trend is on the horizon for next week. And this is the part most people miss: the wild temperature swings are all thanks to a cold front sweeping in from the north and west, bringing a stark contrast to the springlike warmth we’ve enjoyed recently.
Here’s the scoop: After two days of above-average temperatures, Sunday and Monday will feel decidedly wintry. Meteorologist Josh Kozlowski reports that this shift is due to a cold front currently moving into the area. Ahead of this front, temperatures soared into the 40s, 50s, and even 60s. But behind it? Places like Minneapolis, MN, and Bismarck, ND, saw temperatures plummet into the teens and 20s on Saturday. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is this just a typical winter fluctuation, or a sign of more unpredictable weather patterns to come? Let us know what you think in the comments!
If you’re heading to the SU women’s basketball game on Sunday, bundle up—winter gear is a must! And if you’re planning grocery runs or family visits, here’s what to expect: light snow will accumulate overnight, making roads greasy and icy by Sunday morning. While the snow won’t be heavy, it’s enough to cause some travel headaches.
Here’s a breakdown of the key moments:
- 10 PM Saturday: Cold front begins its impact.
- 2 AM Sunday: Light snow starts to accumulate.
- 6 AM Sunday: Roads become icy.
- 1 PM Monday: Temperatures remain chilly but start to stabilize.
Looking ahead, the extended forecast shows a strong warming trend by next weekend, though these predictions could shift. For now, it’s a good idea to enjoy the rest of the weekend indoors—or at least with a warm coat handy. Stay safe, stay warm, and let’s hope spring decides to stick around soon!
