00:00Well with the clipper-like disturbance moving through today into tomorrow, it'll bring just

00:03some spotty rain showers and some snow for portions of the North Shore, but then we're

00:07on track for those warmer temperatures heading into the weekend.

00:20So already much warmer this morning, 10 to 20 degrees warmer for those morning temperatures

00:24thanks to clouds moving in overnight, but also just the departure of that chilly air

00:29mass that we had for about a 36-hour period.

00:32It's going to be warmer today, especially southwestern Minnesota, where we'll see some afternoon

00:35sunshine well into the 60s, probably on the edge of that with temperatures near 60 in

00:40the Twin Cities, I think we will see some afternoon sun, but locked in the clouds, it'll be cooler

00:44in northeastern Minnesota, and we do have kind of a broken area of scattered patches of showers.

00:50This is a clipper-like system, Pacific in origin, not a lot of moisture.

00:54Most of the showers today are going to be across northeastern Minnesota with mixing,

00:59with snow in northeastern Minnesota, along the North Shore especially.

01:02And then tonight, our chance of, better chance of maybe some showers in southern Minnesota

01:06will come with, again, just really some spotty hit-and-miss showers, though.

01:10As far as total precip through tomorrow, pretty meager.

01:14A tenth of an inch for most or less in southern Minnesota, but a little larger area of a tenth,

01:19maybe a quarter of an inch of total precip.

01:21But some of that will fall in the form of snow along the North Shore.

01:24Places like Silver Bay up to Tofty, maybe an inch or two of slush, and then kind of patchy,

01:29slushy accumulation throughout St. Louis and Lake Counties.

01:32But that'll be it.

01:33Not a big snow producer.

01:34This system overall, not a repeat of the previous systems we've seen.

01:38A little cooler, though, tomorrow.

01:39More clouds around, probably around 50 in the Twin Cities, to maybe near 60 along the Minnesota-Iowa

01:45border.

01:46And then jumping into the weekend, much warmer temperatures still on track here.

01:50Saturday, well into the 60s, 70s in western Minnesota, probably.

01:54And then Sunday, more widespread 70-degree temperatures across southern Minnesota.

01:57But that also will be the next chance of some rain here and maybe even thunder Sunday across

02:03the southern part of the state.

02:04The next system will come in out of the west.

02:06Some scattered showers, maybe early Sunday and then late in the day, too.

02:10With snow Sunday night into Monday, as colder air moves in, it'll stay liquid here in the

02:15southern part of the state.

02:15But we could see additional accumulations.

02:17Looks fairly light right now when we averaged the models together.

02:21So we'll keep our eye on that Monday potential for snowfall in northern Minnesota.

02:24But mid-April, still very possible, if not likely, to get snow in the northern part of

02:30the state.

02:30But there'll be just enough instability here, convective available potential energy, Sunday

02:35that we could see some thunder and lightning out of some of those showers, maybe.

02:39So European model hinting at that with its lightning forecast here Sunday.

02:43So don't be shocked if we have a thunderstorm or two.

02:45But in between, peaks of sun and a much warmer air mass means it will still be close to 70

02:49degrees Sunday, which in and of itself tells you it's not going to rain all day Sunday.

02:53But if you're making weekend plans and you want more guaranteed dry weather, Saturday

02:58probably for southern Minnesota is looking dry.

03:00Sunday, can't rule out that shower or thunderstorm chance.

03:03But near 60 today with, again, some afternoon sun and an isolated shower or two, but a better

03:08chance of those showers north.

03:10Still a lingering chance of a few showers tomorrow, a little cooler.

03:13And then Friday, back into sunshine.

03:15High pressure is back.

03:16Should see highs near 60.

03:1768 on Saturday, looking beautiful.

03:20Plenty of sun.

03:21Sunday, more clouds around, but warmer, 70.

03:23And again, we could see some lightning and thunder.

03:25And then Monday, still that lingering chance of some showers.

03:28Otherwise, pretty typical April weather here over the next seven days.
