Cold sunshine to start the week; Rain, then snow possible later this week

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – The cold, wintry weather we dealt with over the weekend continues today as we start the work week with raw winds and snow flurries. The storm system that produced a coating of light snowfall is still lingering to our east, keeping a few passing clouds and flurries in parts of the area today. Otherwise, abundant sunshine can be expected this afternoon. Even so, high temperatures will still only be in the upper 20s, more than ten degrees colder than the seasonal average. A brisk north breeze will keep wind chill values in the teens.
