***WINTER STORM FOR MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT

How things have changed from yesterday….Winter storm on its way for my central and Southern areas.. If that was not enough more snow on the way toward the end of the work week…. Temps will remain rather mild for the upcoming week….


***CURRENT CONDITIONS***

This morning we find temps ranging from 0 to 16… Depending on if an area has clear skies… As skies across the area range from clear to mostly cloudy..Winds have become SW from calm to around 8 MPH….

***FORECAST DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS***

This morning’s SFC charts we find an 991-993 MB low pressure just West of Hudson Bay Canada.. This low is forecasted to work keep Working its way Westwards... Meanwhile we find a 1022 MB high pressure off to our Southeast…. We also see our forming wither storm over the WY …. Which this discussion will mainly be on..

Today through tonight look for Partly cloudy skies with temps in the teens…Lows tonight under increasing clouds Either side of 0…

998 MB low pressure is forecasted to move from WY into Northern SD then to MN right around the Twin Cities area then the low dives into Southeast WI….. This track is more North and more East than it was forecasted yesterday… This would bring mod to heavy snows into the FA still a few things could hamper this…The main one is the dry air in place over the FA…. Along with the track of the system which is in no way set in stone yet….If this does all play out parts of the FA could see snow amount from 6 to 10 inches…Most of this will fall Monday night. Will have a map out on this… After this system passes by we get a break in the action before another storm system moves into the area by Thursday/Thursday night’s time frame….. Temps don’t really cool off this week highs in the lower to middle 20s. With lows in the middle to upper teens…

Will not go issue a long term forecast today…. See forecast below for that….
