The coldest temperature of this winter hit the central Minnesota Tuesday morning.

The St. Cloud area reported temperatures in the -20 degree range, the coldest reading since March of 2014. St. Cloud State University meteorology professor Bob Weisman is sharing good news however.

He says the temperature will rise quickly throughout the rest of this week. Weisman says the temperature will continue to warm up reaching highs from 30 to 35 degrees on Thursday and Friday with lots of sunshine in the weekend forecast.
