Local and Metro views.
Locally we climbed out of the cold airmass we had and not we will be getting a little bit of snow tomorrow but this snow will not be a big deal at all. It will mainly be light in nature in the afternoon and accumulations will be around 1″ to the south of interstate 90 and less then a an inch to the north. This snow will not even stick as temperatures behind this system will warm as skies slowly clear Tuesday become completely sunny by Wednesday. Highs will be in the mid 30s Tuesday and Wednesday some areas could reach 40.F Lows will be in the mid to upper 20s both nights. Thursday clouds will thicken with a chance for light snow late in the day, it will remain mild with highs in the upper 30s and lows in the upper 20s. Accumulations look very light with this system once again. Monday, Cloudy with light snow developing in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 20s to low 30s. Monday Night, Flurries ending. Total accumulations around 1″ or less. Cloudy skies. Lows in the mid 20s.
Tuesday, Mild, skies slowly clearing. Light winds with highs in the mid to upper 30s. Tuesday Night, Partly Cloudy, lows in the mid 20s.
Wednesday, Nice! Sunny skies highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. Wednesday Night, Clear Skies, lows in the mid 20s.
Thursday, Partly Cloudy with increasing clouds, and a chance of light snow late. Highs in the mid to upper 30s. Thursday Night, a chance of light snow. Light accumulations. Lows in the mid 20s.
Looking Ahead
The model is holding onto turning things more active especially after this week, but at this point anything would be considered more active! It does keep things on the fairly mild side at the same time. Thursdays system could be questionable for how much snow falls, it doesn’t look big by any means at this time, but it could be minor, at this time I will hold off and say light accumulations. It will cool off slightly for the weekend and dry out before it warms back up nicely by Monday the 21st, when a stronger system system slights just to our north, possibly bringing good snows north of hear, and a mixture of rain and snow for our area. It remains mild after the passing of this system but dries out briefly before a very strong storm system passing moves up through Missouri to Michigan on the 24th, spreading what would be significant snows through Wisconsin and rain to the east. and some snow and turning colder for our area. For now this is just a neat thing to look at but it should not be taken into consideration yet. Behind this system it cools off to fair temps and remains fair, with another chance of light snow on the 26th. These will be something to watch as the weeks go by.
