3/26/2023 0 Comments Did it rain last nightThe scenarios in central Minnesota range from catching the northern portion of the heavier amounts (4 inches plus) to getting only a bit of the steady snowfall. West central Minnesota would have the next best shot at this serious snowfall. Right now, the southern third of Minnesota seems to have the best shot at more than 6 inches of snow (in some scenarios, a lot more, but I'll stick to trying to forecast the lower end of the snowfall). That leads to a range of starting times for this heavier batch of snow and a range of areas where the most snow would be favored. The computer forecasts are still jumping around, not even agreeing on when the stronger storm would develop and what track it would take. That system would have the potential of creating a widespread plowable snow. That raises the possibility of a stronger low getting developing in Indiana or Illinois by late Friday. One of the stronger lows, now off the British Columbia coast (see Pacific Mid-tropospheric water vapor loop from Colorado State satellite slider) is expected to get kicked out of the Pacific Northwest by one of the Aleutian lows. Stronger But Uncertain Storm Poses Plowable Snow Threat Thursday into Friday? I have a chance for a dusting to a light accumulation both tomorrow from early morning until midday and again Wednesday night. Even the weaker ones will be able to pump air being pulled down the Colorado Rockies (see 3 PM Monday NWS WPC North American zoom-in map) over the top of the seasonably cold air from the Alberta-Saskatchewan high, so there will be some midweek snow. There will be a series of lows coming around that Northwestern low, moving across the northern half of the US. The large storm off the British Columbia and Washington coasts (see Mid-tropospheric water vapor loop from Colorado State satellite slider) will be the dominant one and will stall all the way into the weekend, so the most precipitation will be along the West Coast this week. Still, this week will be dominated by the series of storms from off the Pacific Northwest coast (see Pacific Mid-tropospheric water vapor loop from Colorado State satellite slider), extending into the Aleutian Islands. The clouds persisted, but temperatures climbed into the upper 30's (see 3 PM Monday NWS WPC North American zoom-in map), allowing some melting.Ī Series of Unfortunate Storms (Light Snow Possible Tonight, Tomorrow Nt) I measured a total of 3.5 inches of snow from Sunday evening through midday Monday. Cloud area in general as of early yesterday morning. There were between 3 and 5 inches of snow in the St. The last of the snow pushed out of Minnesota yesterday morning (set frames to 200 on the College of DuPage north central US radar loop).
