Weekend Outlook and Winter Storm?

Tonight: Clouds will begin to move in late tonight ahead of a small disturbance in Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa right now. This may bring in a few flurries. Temps will be in the mid 20s by midnight with fairly calm winds.

Saturday: The morning will start with some clouds with the possibility for some flurries. Snow will accumulate very little if at all. In any case, watch out for a few slick spots if snow does fly. The morning low will be in the mid 20s. Clouds will begin to decrease in the afternoon with a high temperature in the mid-high 30s. Winds will be 10-15mph. The evening will be mostly clear. Temps will fall into the low 30s during the evening hours.

Sunday: Sunday morning will start cool and mostly clear. Temps will be in the mid-high 20s to start the day. Clouds will be around for the afternoon, partly-mostly cloudy. Temps will rise in the afternoon to the mid 40s. Winds will be from the SSW at 10-15mph. The evening will be mostly clear with temps falling to near freezing.

A look ahead: A winter storm will target our area Monday night-Wednesday morning. Places out in Iowa may see up to a foot of snow! As for us, .75-1.5" of rain are likely.. I am thinking that we may receive some snow on the tail end of this system (Tuesday night- Wednesday morning)My math is spitting out 1-2" of snow. If the track shifts just a little, it could be the difference between no snow and up to 4". A few more model runs will clear up this forecast. I should have an idea by Sunday night. Right now, the current trend is to have the heavier snow off to our west, this is based on the last few storms we have had.
