Snow chances Sunday night to Monday
Bjerknes. He looks learned, to be sure, but he also seems to have a chip on his shoulder. Like, if he had to throw down, he could. He'd much rather discuss mathematics and whatnot, but if a fool is angling for an ass-whooping, he could apply it. Say something else, punk. I will slap you up one fjord and down the other.Happy Friday, Happy Pi Day, and Happy Birthday to Vilhelm Bjerknes, a Norwegian physicist and meteorologist whose work provided the basis for modern forecast models. He was born 152 years ago today. (He is dead.)
Speaking of forecasting...
Models are picking up a system moving through here on Sunday night into Monday. For a while it looked as if the track would be farther south and the solution would be warmer. Trends are shifting and evidence is mixed, but I am staying with a minor event for most of our region.
Breezy and milder today with a high of 54. Variable cloudiness will thicken late as a few widely scattered showers move through. (These are rain showers, though. The low will only be 38 overnight.)
Saturday could start with a scattered shower or two, but clear later. High 55, low 42.
Variably cloudy and colder on Sunday with a high of only 38. We'll have a few snow showers late Sunday night (after 9 or 10) overnight into Monday morning. Some forecast models suggest a moderate snowfall from this - in the range of 3-5 inches generally. I think this storm has too much going against it (time of year, sun angle, location, blocking potential), so my call is a coating to an inch.
School impacts:
Chance of delay Monday, 28%
Chance of cancellation Monday, 11%
The high on Monday only gets up to 32. Overnight low 23.
Then Tuesday is milder with highs in the 40s, which is where our highs will be throughout next week.
By next weekend we'll see highs in the 60s, then moderating to highs in the 50s the following week.
I know I usually end a forecast with "stay tuned for updates," but that's especially vital here. If I change my thinking as newer models come in, I will post here and on my Facebook page.
Stay tuned for updates!
