Taste of spring: Temps expected to reach 50 by the start of next week

By all indications, Punxsutawney Phil's forecast is holding true.

An early start to spring appears to be headed our away — with temperatures reaching 50 degrees by the start of next week.

We like this trend! Temps head up into the weekend, but first a little light snow Wednesday night and late Friday. pic.twitter.com/IkHzVNkAYQ

Current models show temps staying above the 50 mark the entire work week, with Tuesday possibly topping 60 degrees.

Now, will the warm weather continue through the start of spring on March 20? Who knows. After all, this is Minnesota.
