Forecast

Pesky low pressure still close enough to keep snow chances alive,Shortwave also dropping through MN aiding to keep snow going...Temps slowly falling from where they are currently...Winds also become gusty today...Note from last night...Areas of light to sometimes mod snows feel here at the Rice Lake forecast office..Was enough to whiten up the ground and I picked up almost a 1/4 inch of snow on my truck...This was around my midnight shift...
Current Conditions...
Temps have wide range this morning..We find the upper 20s out in our far Western MN FA to the middle 30s to close to 40 through our WI FA.....Radar is showing a large area of light snow..Some of this may still be mixed with rain,mainly over our WI area...The snow and snow rain mix is pushing South/Southwest...Some of the snow over our far Northern WI may be lake induced snows,as moisture streaming off the lake...Most still symphonic snow...
Today through Sunday..
Upper level low over Southeastern WI is forecasted to push Northeast into MI and into Canada through the time frame.As it does moisture being wrapped around will have us keep snow in the forecast..Also a shortwave dropping Southeast out of Canada this morning will interact with wrap around moisture.See no reason to pull snow from the forecast...This early morning temps still warm enough over our WI zones to keep the rain/snow mix alive..Cold air will rush into the this part of the FA to change the mix to all snow by 9 or 10 AM....I have just light snow wording in the forecast....Now most areas of MN and WI will not see any or very little snow accumulations...Around one inch is forecasted for my far Northern WI zones.Could see 2 to 6 inches in my snow belts of Ashland,and Iron Counties of WI..We have for the most part reached our highs for today...As colder air moves in temps will be on the fall through out the day....
Sunday night into Monday....
Have kept clouds in area of WI and parts of MN as a few shortwaves will push through the area...Small snow chances are possible..Though not much moisture for these weak systems to work with...
Monday night through Thursday..
High pressure builds into the area.Setting the stage for a rather peaceful work week...Also temps will be warming through this time frame, still below avg.......Next system is forecasted for Thursday night/Friday's time frame...Rain/snow possible once again...Looking at the upcoming weekend..Strong cold front is forecasted to bring in much colder air to the FA...If long range models hold onto to this and short range models pick up on this as we get closer to time frame,we could be dealing with the coldest air thus far this season...We shall see on that one....
