NOWCAST-
High clouds drift over the region, southwest winds blow in the 30's, and temperatures remained rather warm overnight, registering in the mid to upper 20's... yup, the warm before a weak storm is slated to slide through the area in the next few hours.
FORECAST-
Hard to call this mornings weather wiggle a storm, but there may be enough dynamics leftover to squeeze a couple traces of moisture out of today's splitting cold front. As the morning progresses, look for increasing clouds with southwest winds blowing in the 40's and 50's along the high ridges. After a rather mild start, temperatures dive into the teens overnight as cold air filters into the area.
FUTURECAST-
A trailing cold front slides through the area Wednesday and that might offer the best shot of accumulating snow with an optimistic 2"-4" stacking up by sunset. High pressure rounds out the work week.
Chad took his Brackpack for a super, pre-Super Bowl tour near Soapstone and found a variety of snow surface conditions. In between old tracks, wind funk, and varying degrees of supportable suncrusts, Chad's posse found a few patches of soft snow on mid elevation, sheltered slopes. His very informative and most excellent trip report is found
