Winter Weather Advisory

Sunday, March 27, 2011

Warmer and dry weather finally on the way, 40s again by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Regional weather view.

It will be a quiet next 3 days in the Upper Midwest which is good news. There should be dry conditions across all areas accept maybe Iowa. The only issues that will be found are flood warnings in Minnesota and South and North Dakota. Warmer air will start to push east Monday.
Local View

Locally some much well deserved warmer conditions will be moving into our area. This will be the big story as we warm up more and more each day. A high pressure will keep away systems and keeps us dry, which is good news. Monday will still be chilly, but we should start to feel the effects of the warming trend we should have mostly sunny skies with highs reaching the middle to upper 30s and lows in the mid teens, with light Winds. Tuesday will be even warmer with partly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 30s to low 40s Tuesday night as a result of the warmer temps should only fall to the low 20s. Wednesday will be the warmest day out of the next 3, with highs in the low 40s, maybe even middle 40s if we can stay in the full sunshine long enough, it wont be a bad day to be outside at all! Wednesday night lows will fall to the mid 20s.

Monday, Chilly but warmer, Mostly sunny skies with high in the mid 30s, light winds. Monday Night partly cloudy lows in the mid teens.

Tuesday, Warmer, partly cloudy, light winds highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. Tuesday Night, Not as chilly, Partly cloudy with lows in the low 20s.

Wednesday, Partly cloudy to partly sunny, highs in the low to mid 40s. Wednesday Night, partly cloudy lows in the mid 20s

Looking Ahead

We have warmer weather to look foreword to in the long term forecast, Highs will represent more to what should be experienced this time of year and we should have at least a couple shots at 50 degrees on the weekend!Before we get that, On the leading edge of the warmest air, we could have a shot at some snow on Friday April 1st. Then the models are pointing at a potential significant system on Monday April 4th it puts a low pressures system through Minnesota, but we appear to be on the warm side, which means good rain chances, potentially heavy rain changing to snow- But this storm will have to be watched because it will be like the one last Tuesday, any slight track will mean the difference between little snow, or a lot. Snow accumulations right now look light. Behind that system cold air pours into the region, but only lasts a day or two. on April 7th we have a chance of rain or wet snow showers with warmer temperatures, then the models wants to keep cooler and wet as we approach Mid April. This will be changing be check back for updates. One thing that can be fore sure is the warm weather that is approaching for this weekend.
