Cool air has been making is way into the Upper Midwest lately and this will be the case coming into next week. This weekend a weak area of low pressure will be moving across Southern Minnesota which will spread rain and snow across that area. There is even a chance for a few inches of snow accumulation across Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. As the low pressure system passes, there will be a brief push of warmer air across Iowa points south and highs will be in the 60s and 70s for one day ( Sunday ) However come Monday everyone will be on the cold side of the storm.

Across Eastern Iowa Saturday will be cloudy and cool again, much like Friday was. Highs will be in the 50s and there will be breezy southeasterly winds. Saturday Night, skies will be partly cloudy and lows will drop into the low to middle 30s. Sunday we will be on the warm side of the system, and a brief push of warm air will be pushed into our area and highs will make it into the 60s before the storms cold front pushed through in the afternoon Sunday Night, there is a chance of light showers as the front pushes through otherwise it will be cloudy with lows in the upper 30s.

Tuesday will be cloudy, cold and blustery there will be some wrap around showers on the back side of the low, temperatures could be cold enough that some snowflakes could mix in.

Looking Ahead
The ahead forecast actually continues to look active. By next weekend we will be dealing with a fairly big weather producer rain showers spread across Iowa with snow in Minnesota where accumulations are possible, we could even end up with some flurries in our area. Monday through Tuesday look to be cold but dry as temperatures rebound slowly towards Halloween. Halloween at this point looks dry with seasonal temperatures. The model does show another storm system spreading heavy rains into Iowa in the early part of November.
