Heavy Precipitation in the West; Wintry Mix in the North; Fire Weather in the High Plains

Pacific moisture will continue to bring locally heavy coastal/lower elevation rain and heavy mountain snow to the West Coast and portions of the Intermountain West through Monday. A wintry mix will create hazardous travel across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest into early Monday. Dry, gusty winds are resulting in elevated to critical fire weather in the south/central High Plains. Read More >

Snow is expected this evening through Saturday. A band of light snow should develop this evening and push east through tonight. Light snow then persists through Saturday for most locations, with lake and terrain enhancements along the South Shore. The higher snowfall amounts up to 3 inches are most likely in the tip of the MN Arrowhead and along the South Shore, with totals in excess of 4” likely for northern Iron County.
A temperature rollercoaster persists into next week. Temperatures cool slightly for this weekend before warming again Monday and Tuesday and then cooling down again mid to late next week. Light to moderate snow is expected primarily this evening through Saturday. Additional chances for snow on Tuesday and Thursday, though the Tuesday precipitation could be a wintry mix.
