Watching a potential winter storm. Snow along with gusty winds at times. Morning high of 36F with temps falling to near 25. Winds NW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of snow 80%. Snow accumulating 3 to 5 inches.
My apologies, the forecast I relayed earlier was for MSP. Your location may be different.
It shows a high of 73 degrees on Friday, thunderstorms, and a rapid change on Saturday, with a high of 31 on Sunday.
all good just saying who knows until it’s over 
and interesting, MSP to here 120 miles maybe…
Now it does seem to indicate a transition from rain to snow later on Saturday at some point, nearly everywhere.
Not before it reaches the 60’s today and nearly 70 by Friday.
Was out on the deck yesterday, bout 4pm the Farmers draintile opened up with a pretty good flow.
A few minutes later a pair of Mallards showed up.
It’s spring time.
At 3 this afternoon the digi was up to 71 degrees while the other was at 68. Love’n it. But my back yard beer cooler [snow] disappeared today. I guess I need to plug in the minifirdge I have on a work bench.

Jimmy…..i was up in Itasca county this weekend…..i needed to put the ice shavings from the holes i drilled to keep my beer cold!!!!! 
Truck said 72 today when I drove home from work at 5:30. It was great to work today in a T shirt.
Decided to stop by the lake by town on my way home.
The ice is pulling away from the shoreline.
The Friday/Saturday system track is expected to go right over the eastern half of the state. Which means all or mostly rain for that area and to the east, with possibly accumulating snow for western and northwestern MN on the back side with colder air.
Last week, the track went through southern Wisconsin which created a bigger patch of colder air in most of MN, which resulted in more widespread snow.
Also, air temps will be much warmer here when it arrives on Friday. The high is supposed to be around 70 degrees and there could be a thunderstorm or two.
They are talking about a lot of drier air coming in on the back side so the snow, freezing rain will likely be minimal in most areas. Going to be windy (shocker) again.
All I know is it has ruined my weekend plans. 
Now I have to stay home with my wife.

Kinda creepy
The system coming in tomorrow may result in some heavy rain and thunderstorms. A transition will occur along the Dakota-MN border to heavy wet snow and accumulation in western MN could be up to 6-10 inches by Sunday morning.
No snow accumulation is expected in central MN and areas to the east.
Not before it’s nearly 75 degrees tomorrow. 
My yard dried up. Poor dog couldnt even find a mud puddle to roll around in yesterday.

get the garden hose out !!!!!!!!! 
Shorts and T-shirt. Yea. 
Making the best of if. Grilling tonight. Jon Jordan chicken!! 
I have to believe that with the wind coming off lake superior I am going to get diddly squat out of this storm. Was hoping to maybe hear some thunder but now we will be lucky to get some rain. I don’t think it even hit 45 today. I checked and we hit 51 at 13:30.
Enjoying the evening before all hello supposed to break loose.

Pretty good lightning display here in SE Minnesota.
Crazy how “normal” this new weather is to have heavy thunderstorms in December and the first half of March. It’s very different than my younger years
rain and freezing rain here with some wind..
It’s pouring at the cabin.
Makes my morning coffee taste better!
Check that –
Just turned to snow.

So far everything has been to the east of me. Looked at the history and we got .2 of rain and nothing but fog since I got up.
A system set to arrive on Tues/Wed could be interesting. Right now the storm track sends it through Iowa but southern/SE MN and western WI could see significant snow accumulation. The GFS model puts out over a foot of snow around Rochester.
The more reliable European model has less robust snow totals but still puts the bullseye in the same area. Both models have the system just clipping the southern Twin Cities.
The track could shift north or south before it arrives.
The last system brought thunder, wind, and 0.2” of rain here along Pool 4.
It’s pretty early to place any bets on us staying in the bullseye for this one.
It shifted significantly to the southeast than what was forecasted just a couple days ago. I don’t think the twin cities is going to even get a flake of snow. And just 2 days ago, they said several inches.
