That may change as long as the wind is out of the south BUT the forecast for Minnesota Monday and Tuesday is horrible. Falling temps, precipitation that will vary from rain to snow depending on how far north you are and possible blizzard conditions in western and central Minnesota. Mother Nature's April Fool's prank I suppose.
