Forecast problems…..Really not to many….Rain for the weekend
still on track with some snow for Sunday…Problems show up next weekend more on
that later….
*** SHORT TERM/ MIDDLE TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION***
A weak cold front is slowly working through MN about all
this will do is cause a few more clouds tonight, along with winds switching to
the North then Northeast…..a 996 low pressure will track toward s Southwest MN
then up to head of Lake Superior then it will slowly weaken to around 1000 as
it work North of Lake Superior, this
will keep the FA in the warm sector for Saturday…Showers and thunderstorms will
become likely Saturday afternoon…Temps will be in the middle 50s, thought about
go higher, however with the cloud cover forecasted to be in place feel temps
won’t get out of control….Winds are forecasted to pick up to around 10 to 15
MPH…..Will keep showers and thunderstorms going through much of the evening,
however will end thunderstorms after 1 AM…..Sunday looks to be cooler with
falling temps…..Any rain showers left will chance over to all light snow by the
late morning or early afternoon…..The rest of this period will star colder
temps with mostly cloudy skies with a few days under partly cloudy skies…..No
big storms through Thursday of next week…Map below shows the track of the low
pressure through the weekend.

***LONG TERM FORECAST FRIDAY THE 16TH THROUGH SATURDAY
THE 24***
We will be watching a storm system forming over the TX/OK
pan handle..This is forecasted to track toward the Northeast to around the Northeast
NE by the 17th then just North of Eau Claire WI later on the 17th.This
is going to put the FA under rain in my Southern Counties/ A mixture of rain
and snow through my Central areas with all snow in my Northern areas….A cold
front will blast through and chance the mixture/rain to all light snow except
in my far Southern areas Sat 17 night..Thinking my Southern areas will remain
all rain, by time the colder air makes it down there the moisture will have
push well Northeast by then…Sunday 18 Monday the 18th looks to be
dry….The 20th early morning
hours of the 21 snow in my central and Northern areas with rain in my Southern
areas maybe some flurries down there before ending… The 22 through look to be
dry…..
Temps will be warmer in my Southern areas and colder in my
Northern areas….This is highly dependant on if we get a good snow cover in my Northern
areas….
