:: Snow and Ice for Lakeville
A strong low pressure system has moved out of the Great Basin tonight and into the lower plains. Ahead of the low, moist air has surged in from the Gulf of Mexico and has advected north across IA and MN. As the upper jet digs around the system cold Canadian air will plunge in behind the low pressure center as it treks overnight from KS to NE, and into NW IA. Right now the storm track will keep Lakeville in the "warm sector" of the system for a brief time tomorrow morning and afternoon. Expect precipitation to begin sometime around or just after the morning rush and vary between snow flurries and freezing drizzle or sleet. By lunchtime, precipitation will increase in intensity with periods of heavy wet snow alternating with snow pellets/sleet pellets. By late afternoon all precip should be snow, with accumulations around 4" the rule for the area. A winter weather advisory has been issued...please check back for updates on advisories.
