Regional Weather View.

Very quiet in the weather department for the region. The only thing worth mentioning is a cold airmass coming down for Friday, which will be brief only lasting a day or two. Then it temperatures will moderate back up afterwards with sunny dry skies. Very dry conditions will continue across the region for the rest of this week bringing no relief to the drought conditions across the Upper Midwest.

Wednesday and Thursday will both be sunny, highs Wednesday will be near 30, while Thursday we will have moderated into the upper 30s. Lows will be in the 10s. Friday a short lived arctic cold front will sweep through dry but bringing clouds and breezy and cold winds from the north. Highs will only be in the 10s, with lows in the single digits. By Saturday becuase of the lack of snowcover we will already be moderating back into the low 20s with highs around 30 by Sunday, lows will in the single digits moderating to the 10s.

Looking Ahead

The model tries to hint at a slightly more active pattern starting to take place by Tuesday the 14th but it is very hard to buy into at this point, and in any event there are no real significant weather makers in the long range models. Overall the models continue this mild pattern we've been in with occasionally shots at light snows and colder airmasses up to the last week of February.
