The week ahead will feel much more typical for a December in the Midwest than we have seen so far this year. Tuesday brings the next chance for light snow, but only in areas along and north of I-94. We are keeping our eyes on a potential system Friday into Saturday.#MNwx #WIwx pic.twitter.com/GfGejYTbBT
