Good Monday morning everyone and happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Overall, things are pretty quiet across much of the region but there could be some wrap-around snow showers today in parts of Eastern Minnesota from a low pressure system diving through the Great Lakes. Here’s a look at simulated radar showing this potential today and into tonight: 
However, the bigger story the next 24 hours will be the dangerously cold wind chill values throughout the Northern Plains. Wind Chill Warnings and Advisories have been issued until noon tomorrow. A winter weather advisory has also been issued until mid-day today in portions of North Dakota and Minnesota for blowing and drifting snow due to strong winds.
Wind gusts will be around 30 MPH throughout much of today contributing to the bitter wind chills and blowing snow:
Forecast wind chills range from -10 to -35 throughout the Northern Plains with the most bitter wind chills in North Dakota and Western Minnesota.
Luckily, we are forecasting a big warm up the second half of the week. As the arctic high producing the bitter cold moves off to the east, a southwest wind will emerge and usher in warmer air into the region. Warmer temperatures look to begin on Wednesday and the entire area could be above freezing by Friday afternoon. Here’s a look at the forecast temperatures from the European model Wednesday through Friday. 40s and 50s are possible in southern South Dakota the last three days of the week! 
It will be difficult to knock out the cold anomalies we see at the beginning of this week, but temperature end up around normal over the next week, but expect very dry conditions with only a very slight chance of some snow Thursday, which we covered in the video and will fine-tune in future updates.
Hope you have a great day!
