Brief warm up with light drizzle or light snow, then much colder with light snow Friday.

Regional weather view.

It will be a bit milder in here in the Upper Midwest the next couple of days as a weak system passes through Northern Minnesota, where minor accumulations are possible. temperatures as warm as the lower 50s are possible in snow less areas of central and southern Iowa. low to mid 30s everywhere else.

Local view.

A system passing to the north will give the local area a brief warm up Wednesday, but it will come with light snow or light drizzle. Accumulations of any snow would be light if any. Highs should reach the mid 30s Wednesday and cause some melting of the fresh snow. Thursday will be mainly cloudy with near fair temperatures for this time of February. Then on Friday we have the chance to see some light snow, this could accumulate up to an inch. Temperatures with this snow will be cold for what is expected for this time of year in the upper 10s, and lows falling to just above zero.

Looking ahead

Sunday into Monday immediately following the 3-day forecast looks interesting, I’m watching a potentially strong Winter storm, which looks to impact somewhere in the Upper Midwest, it looks to be possibly a big wind and snow producer. Then after Tuesday March 1st, It turns significantly colder, quite cold for early March standards. Then it turns slightly warmer, but still below average for the week of the 4th of March, then March 5th looks like slightly warmer and with snow chances. Then for March 8th it looks cooler and dry, with more snow chances for the the 9th. Overall it’s showing a cool and snowy pattern. With no signs of any significant Spring warmth.
