Looking Ahead-Thursday the 10th is the next shot of precip in the form of rain
Most of this month could take on a fairly active note after this quiet weather pattern. next chance of precip in the form of rain will be from a quick moving storm system moving up through the central U.S on Thursday January 11th. Another quick moving, and stronger storm will be right on its heels and could accumulating snow to our area and wind Saturday and Sunday January 12th and 13th. Most of the accumulating snow looks to be across most of Minnesota with this potential storm. Significantly colder air rushes in southward behind this storm introducing a cool moist northwest flow pattern which could send in a few minor clipper systems. One on the 15th and another on the 16th.
