3-Month Spring Weather Forecast For MN: When Will It Warm Up?

MINNESOTA — Winter is likely to hang on in some parts of the country well past the March 20 spring equinox, while others will see an early arrival of warm temperatures, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac’s 2023 spring weather forecast.

“Precipitation looks to be on the wet side in the Upper Midwest,” the report states.

Here’s what we can expect in Minnesota in the months ahead:

• March: Above-normal precipitation
• April: Drier
• May: Above-normal precipitation

In general, the forecast calls for fairly mild temperatures in most places, but people who live in the Northwest shouldn’t retire their cold-weather gear for the season.

Temperatures are expected to be below normal in those regions, and people from the mid-Atlantic to the Appalachians to the Rockies also shouldn’t be surprised by late winter blasts of cold air, the forecast said.

Texas and Oklahoma, the Deep South and Florida are all expected to see warmer than usual temperatures.

People living in the Upper Midwest, the Appalachians and the Mid-Atlantic should be prepared for above-normal precipitation. Rainfall is expected to be normal to above normal in many other parts of the country, including Oklahoma and Texas.

However, the forecast calls for below normal rain in Southern California and the Southwest.
