Very mild tomorrow, Near record highs possible. Then sigificant changes ahead. Much colder Friday and windy with flurries.

Regional Weather View

An extremely mild air mass for February will continue to be the rule at least through tomorrow. A very strong warm front will surge even warmer temperatures yet strait north from the southern U.S. Near record regional highs are possible as Middle 50s could be seen as far north as Minnesota and Wisconsin, 70s could be as close as the now snow less ground of southern Iowa. To go with this air mass fog an breezy southwest winds will be seen across the region. Friday will be the start of significant change for the Upper Midwest, a sharp cold front will sweep east bringing sharply colder temperatures, light snow and windy conditions for Friday and Saturday.

Tomorrow will be another beautifully mild day, which will start off cloudy with dense fog and drizzle in the morning Fog may be an issue early, then winds will pick up out of the southwest which should scour out the clouds and fog and drizzle. As skies clear highs will reach middle 50s under breezy southwest winds and partly sunny skies. I am going on a limb with a forecast this high, but I believe this warm front will be strong enough to bring temps this warm. Winds Thursday could approach 30MPH.

Sharply colder Friday

Thursday Night/Friday a sharp cold front will move through, winds will turn out of the NW and become strong, winds could gust close to 40MPH, temperatures will fall off drastically from what we've have been enjoying, a few wind blown few flurries will be possible as well, The wind will probably feel quite chilly to us. Saturday will be less windy, with partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 20s to 30.F This is actually not considered cold for this time of year, actually it is quite normal, lows will fall back into the low teens range.

Thursday, Very mild, Fog, some dense with drizzle in the morning, becoming windy, wind gusts up to 30MPH possible. Turning partly sunny in the afternoon with highs in the low to mid 50s. Thursday Night cooler, Cloudy with lows in the low 30s

Friday, Much colder and windy with wind blown flurries. Winds gusting to near 40MPH at times out of the Northwest. Highs in the upper 20s little to no new snow accumulation. Friday Night, Windy, partly cloudy skies with lows in the mid teens.

Saturday, Partly Cloudy and less windy, Fair February temps in the low 30s. Saturday, Partly Cloudy with lows in the mid 10s.

Looking Ahead

Sunday and Monday I'm watching what could be a developing snowfall event for somewhere in the Upper Midwest, It looks like someone maybe could get some significant snow, with rain but it is too early to tell where, right now it is trending southern Minnesota into southern Wisconsin as getting some of the highest snow totals, We will have to watch this closely if it looks to gain strength. Behind it in Tuesday it looks colder, with highs back below freezing. Then a gradual warm up, by Thursday the 24th the models are trending a second significant system, but this time it wants to put us on the mild side of it instead, which would mean another warm up and the potential for rain, before changing to snow and becoming sharply colder by Friday the 25th. Saturday The week of February 26th looks cold behind that system It remains chilly and dry through the rest of February. Then towards the end of the model run, the models are hinting at another warm up as we head into the start of March. More in this later.
