Sunday Warm! with rain and snow

Sunday it looks like we have some weather to talk about, First it will be warm, highs in the Mid to upper 40s! with possible some low 50s in some areas! With a chance of Rain and Snow some of this may come down as just rain in the afternoon! but I down think there will be much snow accumulation because of the warm temps, and there wont be much rain, the NWS says less then a tenth of an inch of precipitation, this will melt lots of whats left of the snow, and more spring flowers will being to come up, enjoy this Warm weather!

Rain/Snow possible this weekend

This is the Twin Cities weather story of the day, and today they are talking about a system that comes in for This weekend, it looks like a cool front will pull in and bring some Rain and snow to the area, high temps this weekend will be from the upper 30s to low 40s, so might just come down as rain at some times and low temps will be in the mid to upper 20s, so thats cool enough for some snow, I will keep watching this one, enjoy the sunny weather Friday!

Spring has sprung

Spring has Sprung! if you look carefully in the middle of the photo you can see a Crocus that has come up, and if the weather stays nice it will be blooming soon, and if you look at the forecast it looks like it will stay warm, the NWS says that temps will stay in the 40s all though out the weekend!


Here is a photo of our snow pack which is nearly gone, it should be gone before the week is out with temps near and at 40.F hope you all enjoy this weather

another Winter Storm

Another early spring snowstorm will effect the areas to our south, thankfully, lol. This snow will be very wet snow, it looks like the best chance for accumulating snow will be in southern Dunn county places like Downsville, Eau Galle and Menomonie may see few inch's of new snow from this places to the north will see less, the Siren and Spooner area may not even see snow at all! but this system should say south, which is not a bad thing if you are ready for the snow to melt away!

Claytoncam

There is a new item on my Blog, it will be called Claytoncam, It is a camera located at my house here in Clayton,WI it shows a Southwest view, when its on, it will always show live conditions, it may be off-air at times, but it will be on most times especially when storms of any kind are expected

sure sign of spring

Taken March 22 Clayton,WI

here is a sure sign of spring! here is a picture of some daffodils are tulips on my aunts farm that have popped up with this the warm weather we had last week, they are still growing even with this snow cover! and low temps in to 20s! this week we should have highs in the low 40s so this snowpack will not be lasting long.


have a happy easter!

Here is the Twin Cities weather story of the day, It shows a snowstorm in the forecast for Friday, thankfully it looks like the worst of this snow will go south of area, places like Hudson, Baldwin and Downsville could see 2-4 inch's from this storm, with just a trace to 2 inch's north and east, looks like Spooner will get out of this one clean! There are Winter Storm Watches to the south of the area, for information on the snowy weather in Southeast Wisconsin please visit

the Twin Cities Story of the day is showing something new, There is a good chance for accumulation across western Wisconsin on Monday night into Tuesday, 2 to as much as 4 inch's of wet snow looks possible for this area, with the best chance to the north, areas like Grantsburg, Spooner down to Frederic and Rice Lake should see the most accumulation with lesser amounts south 2 inch's for areas like Menomonie and Downsville. more on this later.

Snowy weather ahead, sunny warm weather this weekend

Image from http://www.crh.noaa.gov/mpx





Twin Cities NWS Story of the day shows the upcoming sloppy weather for Monday looks like they have our area down for 1 inch to .50 it will be wet snow, so it wont take long to melt. more on that as Monday comes a bit closer.

Sunday will be nice, I think we will have mostly sunny to Partly cloudy skies, and we will have mid to upper 30s north to upper 30s and possible some low 40s south. Winds should be light. With this weather more of the snowpack will melt away, not much more to go, In joy the warm weather!

Nice Weather

Picture taken March 13th



Another nice day taking shape here in Western Wisconsin. temps are already near 40.F even this early in the day. It has really felt like spring these past few days so will it continue?

Image from http://www.crh.noaa.gov/mpx/

It seems like this nice weather tread will continue though the weekend! sunshine with 30s and even close to 40 Sunday, The snow wont last much longer with this weather although the NWS says there is some chance's for Rain/Snow early next week.

Messy Weather

Image from http://www.crh.noaa.gov/mpx/

This is the Twin cities Weather Story of the day, and the story for Western Wisconsin is the rain and snow later today, looks like we will be in for rain early then changing over to snow I think the best chance of accumulation too the north and east places like Grantsburg Spooner and Rice Lake could be affected by this maybe couple inch's, and I think it will be more of a rain event for places like Amery,New Richmond and Menomonie. Any snow that falls will be wet.

Spring-like weather!

Saturday, My Birthday, I think will still be cool but warmer then it was today, I think we will have highs from the Mid to upper teens north to the Upper teens and possible some low 20s south. I think skies will be Partly To Mostly cloudy, with maybe a bit of a brisk wind.

Friday still cold

Friday I think we will have Sunshine, it will be Cold for this time of year,but the sunshine is nice, I think temperatures will be in the low teens to upper teens because of the strong March sun, even with this arctic air, and I think the winds will be light.

Image from http://www.nws.noaa.gov/

as you can see in this Image from the NWS we we will still have Cold temps for Friday, this will be from a reinforcing Cold shot of arctic air.

Thursday cold

Thursday I think will be cold, with temps between the mid single digits to low teens north too the low to mid teens south, but if get some more sun it could be warmer. There is a slight chance of some flurries not much accumulation. then I think we will have some clearing, later on. Winds will be light. It will not be a nice day too be out and around!

Image from http://www.nws.noaa.gov/

This is a temperature map from the NWS showing Thursdays HIGH temps which as you can see looks cold! this is because of an Arctic High pressure and it will keep our temps cold for a few days. Which no one wants to hear.

Good news is looks like pleasant temperature for early next week it looks like we could have some 40s up here! we will all look forward to this.

Wednesday snow

Click map to get a larger view

Wednesday I think we will have cooler then average temps for this time of year, with a pretty good chance at some snow from a clipper system, I think we could have anywhere from .50 to 1.50 with the most accumulation in the north and west around Amery, St Croix Falls and up toward Grantsburg and Siren. So a cool and snowy Wednesday coming.

Tuesdays weather

Map and Forecast icons were made/drawn by me to show what I believe the weather will be Tuesday March 3rd

Tuesday, I think we will have Partly to mostly cloudy skies, we will be below Avg temp-wise, I think we will have temps from to mid 20s north too upper 20s south. with light winds with possible some snow moving in later in the day, Not too bad but it is cool.

New Map

Todays weather.

This is a photo of the drizzle that fell today.

Today it felt spring-like, it started out with filtered sunshine, then it turned cloudy. We had mild temps around 37.F all afternoon!, then later we had drizzle. the snow-pack took kind of a hard hit from this drizzle. it really made the snow melt pretty fast.


Here is a photo of the drizzle that actually was enough to get the cars, trees and everything wet!
