MPR News PM Update

Jan. 25, 2023

Good evening,

Tonight and tomorrow's weather is dull compared to what's ahead, temperature wise. Friday through Monday the Twin Cities will see a frigid air mass, rivaling the coldest air of the season. Expect five or six nights of subzero temps, warming up into the 20s or 30s a week from Friday. Snow here in the Red River Valley will sail into the metro later on Thursday and there may be some lingering snow for Friday morning’s rush hours.

🌍 Trip update: Angela Davis on Robben Island
MPR News host Angela Davis boarded the ferry for Robben Island. For nearly 400 years, Robben Island was a place of banishment, exile, isolation and imprisonment.
