Our new active pattern is continuing this week, we have a significant winter storm impacting Northern Minnesota Sunday producing significant accumulations in Northern Minnesota. The of precip on the southern side of the low will lead to a warm and windy day across Southern Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and Iowa. All eyes will be on a much larger storm system moving into the Upper Midwest by Tuesday
Note: There will only be a forecast for the next 2 days due a significant storm system with uncertainty taking shape for midweek next week. See looking ahead forecast for some details.
For the start of a new week we can expect a mild note. Sunday will feature partly sunny skies with strong southerly winds. Our temperatures will be quite a bit higher then Saturday as highs rise into the middle 40s. Most areas will stay precip free as the storm system Sunday passes to our north, but there is a chance the far northern areas may see a bit of precip, with up to a trace possible. Monday will be a bit cooler as the cold front from the system to our north pushes through, winds will be breezy out of the west. Highs will be in the mid 30s with partly cloudy skies and increasing clouds, with lows in the mid 20s. Snow from our next weeks system could start as late as overnight Monday Night.
Sunday, Mild but windy Partly sunny skies with highs in the mid 40s. Winds could gust to 35MPH Sunday Night, Partly Cloudy with lows in the low 20s.
Monday, A bit cooler. Partly Cloudy with increasing clouds. Breezy with highs in the mid 30s. Monday Night, Cloudy, with a chance of snow late.
Looking Ahead- Increasing chances for a Major Winter Storm for Tuesday and Wednesday!
Chances for a high impact major winter storm are becoming likely for the Upper Midwest! There is still some uncertainty right now, but currently models have a deadly winter storm moving out of the Rockies and passing through Northwest Iowa before making a turn to the Northeast through just south of the Minnesota/Iowa Boarder. The track has shifted south slightly, meaning that our area will have the chance for rain snow sleet mixture with the threat for significant ( snows 6" or more ) along with high winds.This track keeps the heaviest snowfall north of our area hitting cities to our north like the Twin Cities, St Cloud and Eau Claire hard with very high, major accumulations. There is still time for some shifting to occur so those with plans for this week will want to stay tuned weather conditions. After this storm it could remain active before it quiets down and eventually warms up. This is as far as I will go for now.
