Regional View.
We got quite a Active, Wet, couple of days ahead. we got a Weak system and Warm Front moving through for Friday and Saturday, which will bring some light snow, or freezing drizzle and Mild temperatures to most of the Upper Midwest, then Sunday, during the daytime, we will get a bit of a break, but skies will remain cloudy and it will cool down a bit, then late Sunday, we will have a second system develop right behind it, this one looks like it will have a bit more of a kick to it, it also looks like it will last longer, it will last through the 3 days forecast into Monday & parts of Tuesday, also looking yet even cooler into early next week.
Local View. Overnight Tonight
We will have light Snow and Freezing Drizzle through the night, from a weak system and stationary front sitting nearby the area, a small glazing of ice is possible on roads, This could cause slippery conditions on roadways and this is what caused the NWS in the Twin Cities and Duluth,MN to issue a Winter Weather Advisory which is in effect for parts of the area tonight till 6AM tomorrow.
Then Friday, we will have off and on light snow or light freezing drizzle lingering through the day, Snow accumulations will be very light from this system, off and on light snow will last through Saturday, Snow totals from both Friday and Saturday will be light around 1 inch or less, Temperatures will be Mild for Friday, with highs in the lower 30s, but it will cool off a bit to more normal levels for early February for Saturday.
Late Sunday’s System.
Sunday’s and Early next weeks is the system to watch, because this one has the chance to bring a bit more snow to the area, Most of Sunday during the day anyway, will be dry as we get a small break from the snow. but skies wont clear out, and will remain cloudy, It’s Later Sunday that our system will begin to Develop literally right behind our 1st one, This ones does appear to be a bit stronger, but because it lasts through and out of the 3 day forecast, I’ll have to issued an updating Forecast on Saturday or Sunday. right now accumulations do look to be minor, but it will have to be watched carefully.
Daily Forecast,
Friday, Light Snow, or light freezing drizzle, Mild highs in the low 30s. Friday Night, light snow, lows in the upper 10s.
Saturday, light snow or flurries, Otherwise cloudy, with highs in the low 20s. Saturday Night, Cloudy, lows in the mid 10s.
Sunday, During the day, Cloudy skies with highs in the low 20s. then late Sunday light snow developing. Sunday Night, Light Snow, lows in the mid 10s.
Looking Ahead, I am still watching the system which will effect Mondays Weather, it looks as though a system will develop over North Dakota, then move East, this will produce some minor snowfall accumulations here in the 6 county area, This is why on Saturday or Sunday I will have an Updated Forecast issued so stay tuned. Temperatures, look to cool off behind this system as we get into a more northwest flow, it doesn’t look terrible cold at this time, but it does look chilly. from February the 10th through the 13th. The models are very unorganized after the 13th, so it would be hard to pin point a long range forecast from this date.
