The Midwest meltdown is officially on this week with temperatures and a forecast that could spiral our 2020/2021 season.

As far north at Lutsen and Mt. Bohemia, temperatures will tickle the mid-40s this weekend into early next week. Near the Twin Cities, temperatures are expected to near 60 degrees. Make sure you go chase that sun this weekend on our Midwest hills!

Backyards buried in a foot of hard-packed snow two weeks ago are nearly bare already – a true sign that our true winter is over. Stay tuned, of course, for our “State Tournament snow” and the April blizzard to which we have become accustomed.

Minneapolis-based Meteorologist Cody Matz did a great breakdown on why and how the Midwest spring has become colder due to climate change. Check it out here.
