A FOUR LETTER WORD FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE

Early Season Storm Could Bring First Snow Of The Season.

The weather pattern across the Upper Midwest will become more active next week as an early season storm could bring the first snow to parts of the Upper Mississippi River Valley region.

An area of low pressure is expected to develop over the Southern Plains and lift northeastward into the region by Wednesday morning. Plan on the precipitation to fall as rain, possibly heavy at times, overspreading much of the area on Tuesday and continuing into Wednesday. At this time, it appears between 1 and 2 inches of rainfall is possible through Wednesday morning.

As the system deepens and moves to the northeast, enough cold air will spread into the region as the low pulls away from the area Wednesday, allowing for a change over to a rain/snow mix, or even all snow for parts of the Upper Mississippi River Valley region. It’s too early to make any calls on exact timing or amounts, but something to pay attention to as we move into the new work week. With the ground still relatively warm here in early November, if any accumulation were to occur it would mainly be on grassy surfaces.
