The main weather story will be the calm weather continuing to be in place across most of the Upper Midwest. The other weather to talk about through Tues is a system that will effect Southeast IA, MI and IL. Wednesday and Thursday a cold front will swing through following that system which will bring some light snow across the rest of the area.
Locally and in the Rochester Metro we can expect a fairly quiet weather week. Tuesday and Wednesdat will bring Sunshine light winds and mild temps in the mid 30s, with lows in the 20s. The only chance at snow will come in Wednesday Night, lasting into Thursday with a cold front that will lead to cooler air Friday. Snow accumulations will be light a dusting to a half inch at most. This is one of the last snow chances before Christmas, so the chance of a brown Christmas in Southern Minnesota are significantly starting to increase. Friday Sunshine returns with highs in the upper 20s and lows in the 10s.
Tuesday, Sunny and mild. Light winds with highs in the mid 30s. Thursday Night, clear skies lows in the low to mid 20s
Wednesday, Sunny with increasing afternoon clouds, highs in the mid 30s. Wednesday Night, Cloudy with light snow and flurries possible. Lows in the mid 20s
Thursday, A chance of flurries in the morning then clearing skies. Highs in the low 30s Thursday Night, Clear skies, lows in the upper 10s
Friday, Sunny and cooler but still nice. Highs in the upper 20s Friday Night, clear skies lows in the mid 10s
Looking Ahead- Christmas Holiday Outlook
Looking towards the Christmas Holiday weekend looks fairly nice for weather, mild temps and dry conditions. A dry cold front passes through on Christmas cooling things off but not bringing any moisture. The next chance of snow comes with a system pushing in from the west which will bring some chances at snow Wednesday December 28th, which may be the start of a more active pattern. Another chance of snowfall comes with a cold front after a brief warm-up on January 1st, following that fair temps with another chance of snow on the 3rd, and another to follow soon after with a cool down. People wanting snow may be much happier with January then this month has shown us.
