A warm airmass will be moving into the Upper Midwest from the west, bring and early dose of Spring-like temperatures, and will finally give the region a break from this Winter which has been a cold and snowy one. The only chance at precip will be from flurries Friday along the warm front.
Local View.
Locally we will get a nice break from this winter as a warm Spring-like airmass moves in for the weekend. Friday will be mostly cloudy with a chance at some light flurries, or maybe even some freezing drizzle with the passes of a warm front. Any accumulations of freezing drizzle or snow will be light. Saturday will be the start of a string of mild days coming our way. It will be partly sunny with highs reaching the low 30s, and possibly getting above freezing for the first time at most locations in more then a month. Lows Saturday will be very mild up into the low 20s. Sunday will be very nice if we don’t get above freezing Saturday then we definitely will Sunday We will have, clearing skies highs will reach the middle to upper 30s and lows in the mid 20s. It will be a weekend to get outside for sure.

Looking Ahead
Our mild air mass doesn’t stop there, we look to remain mild and dry through the middle of next week with highs reaching near 40 everyday! We even may have a shot at mid 40s maybe even 50.F degree temperatures late next week. Wednesday and Thursday looks especially warm. Friday looks a little cooler with a chance of light snow, or freezing drizzle. Then Saturday colder air moves in, but not significantly cold. Then it warms back up for the weekend of the 20th, a chance snow is there as well, possibly more significant. Behind it colder air moves in, but temperatures quickly moderate back to very warm levels as we approach the middle to end of February, snow chances look to increase towards the end of the run as well. So the models continue to hint at a warm and snowier pattern setting up.
