Winter is reluctantly loosening its grip on western Minnesota.

Only three high temperatures this month have been above average. Based on the National Weather Service 10-day forecast, we may not see another above average temperature this month. March saw just one high temperature above the average.

If there isn’t another above average high this month, only four days of 61 in March and April will have seen above average temperatures. As of April 26, highs average 63 degrees and lows 39.
