NWS Twin Cities Releases Minnesota Outlook Through February
There is a light at the end of the cold snap - at least there is according to the National Weather Service of the Twin Cities.
The NWS Twin Cities released an outlook for the rest of the month. They shared the outlook on their Facebook page over the weekend (February 13th) and to be honest, it was the best Valentine s gift anyone could ask for!
Their outlook promises warmer temperatures as we head into the rest of the month. To be more specific, they are forecasting temperatures above normal by the end of February. So what does this mean?
As the bitter cold continues across the Northland, the City of Duluth has announced that they will keep the Warming Center open with expanded hours this week.
