Warmth streak is on the line

For the previous 16 months, the Twin Cities has experienced above normal temperatures.  The stretch of warm weather could come to an end in October as temperatures have remained below normal for a good portion of the month, but have climbed closer to normal over the last few days.  As of October 22nd, we are one degree below normal.  The forecast calls for a mild Wednesday before temperatures plummet and stay quite cool for the remainder of the week, with a chance of snow for far western Minnesota.
