Looking ahead
Monday and Tuesday following the weekend look to continue to be a bit chilly and dry. It will be warmer then this week though. Then on Wednesday the models are picking on a potential snowstorm hitting Iowa and southern Minnesota, It does show it passing to the south of the local area, but with it being so close it will be something we will have to keep our eye on. I was well as many others are hoping it does not happen in our area. Behind that system it does not really get too cold, but it does get drier. Then it shows a warmer pattern with a chance at snow ahead of it on April 1st. Then warm air surges into the region we have a brief shot at 50s and 60s especially on April 5th! Then a very strong cold front moves down from Canada on April 6th and brings with a chance of rain turning to snow, with much colder temperatures, Then we remain in a chilly and wet pattern through the 9th of April.
