Weather and Climate News

Our mild streak continues today. Saturday night snow will be followed by cooler temps on Sunday. We have the details.
Weekend forecast: Mild Saturday, cooler Sunday; snow or a mix Saturday night
Do you like mild weather or cool weather in February? You’ll be happy with part of the weekend either way; we have one mild day and one cooler day in the forecast. We also have some accumulating snow to talk about.
After a warm and windy Friday, the weekend brings cooler weather and accumulating snowfall. Snow totals are expected to stay under 2 inches in most places. 
Friday stays warmer but also very windy, with gusts that could exceed 40 mph. That wind pattern also draws in enough moisture for areas of precipitation by the afternoon.
Highly variable snow cover across Minnesota
Snow cover is highly variable across Minnesota in late February.
Despite a cooldown over the weekend, the trend will be higher than average temperatures into early March. Meanwhile, precipitation chances stay limited.
Thursday brings another day of mild temperatures and widespread sunshine.
The medium-range temperature outlooks for much of March continue to trend much milder than average.
