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 >

Light snow is possible this evening through Saturday. A band of snow should develop through this evening and push east, but there is some uncertainty about exactly how far east the initial development will occur. Light snow then persists through Saturday, with lake and terrain enhancements along the South Shore. The highest snowfall amounts are expected in the MN Arrowhead and along the South Shore, with totals in excess of 4” likely for northern Iron County.
Looking ahead, we’ll see our temperature rollercoaster continue, along with on/off chances for precipitation. Temperatures cool slightly into the weekend before warming again Monday/Tuesday. Light to moderate snow is expected today through Saturday. Another chance arrives Tuesday, but depending on the exact track of that system some mixed precipitation could be possible.
