MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Precipitation will return to parts of Minnesota overnight before we embark on a predominately dry and mild week.

Meteorologist Lisa Meadows says the clipper system will first hit the northwestern part of the state just after midnight. There will be a better chance of light snow for those north of the I-94 corridor, with the Arrowhead possibly seeing snow totals between 1.5 inches and 3 inches, with the most accumulation north of Duluth.

Rain, and possible freezing rain and drizzle, will fall along the I-94 corridor and south. The metro will get rain, with the chance for some icy roads during the early half of the morning commute. The system will exit Minnesota by 7 a.m. or so.

After a below-freezing overnight, temperatures will rocket into the low 50s for much of the state. Highs will be in the 40s and lows will be in the 30s for the rest of the work week. For prespective, the average high this time of year is 35 degrees. There is also another possible shot of precipitation late Tuesday.
