Snow Again In Twin Cities' Forecast: MN Weather

MINNEAPOLIS — Welcome to Minnesota, where highs in the 80s and snow showers can happen in the same week.

It's no joke. Temperatures are expected to hit at least 80 degrees on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. But lows in the 30s will return Saturday through Monday, as will chances for snow and freezing rain.

The snow likely won't stick around, if it accumulates at all. But this weekend will certainly mark the end of April's brief (but intense) heatwave.
