MINNEAPOLIS — Temperatures will start to drop Thursday, leading to the coldest weekend Minnesota has experienced in more than a year.

Expect temperatures to be 7-10 degrees cooler on Thursday. Some sunshine isn’t out of the question.

The forecast high is 21 and falling in the Twin Cities, but it will feel like single digits at times due to wind chill.

Minnesota to experience coldest air mass felt in more than a year

Snow returns on Friday and may carry into Saturday. We are monitoring a system that may shift north. The National Weather Service has a winter storm watch with projected totals of 3-5 inches of snow.

Saturday will be a NEXT Weather Alert day due to the cold air. Below-zero days and nights with dangerous wind chill values arrive Sunday and hang on for some time.

It will be slightly warmer by midweek next week, but still cold. More sunshine is possible due to cold, dry air.

East Range Police Department officer passes away

A police officer in northern Minnesota unexpectedly passed away earlier this week.

The East Range Police Department said that Sgt. Cody Siebert passed away on Friday, less than 24 hours after being diagnosed with a brain infection.

The department said that Siebert was known for his happy-go-lucky personality and that “if you couldn’t get along with Cody, it was your fault.”

Siebert started at the K9 program in Babbitt with K9 Taconite (Tac) before going to the East Range Police Department.

“The hole left by Sgt. Siebert’s passing will be impossible to fill,” East Range police said. “We at ERPD love you and will miss you always. We have it from here.”

Mesabi East Schools also stated that the district was “truly blessed to have him walking our halls, greeting students, encouraging staff, and building relationships that went far beyond the badge.”
