MARSHALL — Frigid temperatures are expected to stick around in southwest Minnesota heading into next week.

After a cold weather advisory Wednesday night, National Weather Service forecasts showed a slight warm-up on Friday, followed by days with low temperatures falling below zero.

“We’re kind of stuck in a cold pattern,” said Kyle Weisser at the National Weather Service office in Sioux Falls.

Southwest Minnesota was in a cold weather advisory since Wednesday night and was supposed to end this morning. The region experienced temperatures falling to about 15 degrees below zero on Wednesday night, but wind chills as low as 33 degrees below zero were expected across the region.

Wind chills that low can cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes, according to the National Weather Service.

Weisser said high winds weren’t expected in the Marshall area. However, with cold temperatures, “Even a 5 to 10 mile per hour wind can really drop that wind chill,” he said.

Some warmer air and a chance for snow could fall in southwest Minnesota Friday, when the daytime high temperature is forecast at 27 degrees. But after that, the cold will settle back in, Weisser said. Sunday through Wednesday, daytime highs in southwest Minnesota are forecast to be between zero and 10 degrees, Weisser said.

While temperatures the next few days will be cold, the forecasts are still about 10 to 15 degrees away from breaking any records in Marshall, Weisser said.

The record low temperature recorded for Feb. 14 in Marshall is 27 degrees below zero, he said. The record for Feb. 16 was 36 degrees below zero, in 1936.

The cold blustery conditions are expected to stretch across the rest of southern Minnesota from New Ulm past Mankato, according to the National Weather Service.

The snow will again hit the eastern part of the state. New Ulm is far enough west to avoid most of the snow. It could amount to only an inch.

Joe Strus, also with the National Weather Service said by Saturday evening the temperatures in central and eastern Minnesota would drop below zero again and remain in the negative digits through President’s Day.

The storm system that just grazed southern Minnesota brought more than 14 inches of snow to Iron Gate, a tiny Appalachian town in western Virginia, and 12 inches to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, a small city about 65 miles to the west, the National Weather Service said.
