The return of dangerous cold to the Minneapolis area will dominate weather headlines this week.
The departure of Saturday morning's snow and Sunday's milder air is not a sign of things to come for this week.
Instead, the polar vortex and the accompanying dangerous cold are once again dropping southward.
A band of nuisance snow, accumulating a coating to an inch, will usher in the frigid air Sunday night through Monday.
Temperatures will drop to around 10 F by daybreak Monday, then will hold steady or slowly fall during the daylight hours before plummeting to 18 below zero at night. The city will then endure another subzero high on Tuesday.
The good news is that prolonged biting winds will not accompanying this cold blast, preventing a repeat of the extremely low AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures registered earlier this month.

However, the magnitude of the impending cold is still dangerous enough to put residents who do not properly bundle up at risk for frostbite and hypothermia.
Care should also be taken to ensure that livestock and other animals housed outdoors have adequate shelter.
Temperatures will climb back above zero on Wednesday before more dangerous cold arrives for Thursday.
