A strong cold front arrives Sunday night and Monday, bringing the potential for several inches of snow followed by much colder temperatures for next week.

Another rebound into the 30s for the weekend before a very strong cold front comes early next week, keeping highs only in the single digits by Tuesday.

Freezing drizzle and some light snow is being reported near and west of St. Cloud.

Just as we get cleaned up from the last big snowfall, the National Weather Service says another major snowstorm is headed our way.

A Winter Storm Warning has been expanded to cover most of central Minnesota along with all of southern Minnesota and west-central Wisconsin.

Significant snow accumulation is expected across much of the region. Strong northwest winds will arrive late Tuesday night and Wednesday which will bring areas of blowing snow.

St. Cloud set a record Monday for a record cold high with a maximum temperature of 16 degrees.

It isn't officially winter yet but early next week temperatures will be consistent with January, vs. early November. A strong cold front will move through the region next weekend.

Tuesday will be dry in the morning, but by the late afternoon, and evening, light snow will begin to develop across southern Minnesota.

There are no signs of above normal temperatures for the foreseeable future. Normal highs this time of year are near 50, but the forecast calls for highs 10 to 15 degrees colder than that through next week.
