:: Wind Chill Warnings Remain - More Snow Monday
Yesterday's Alberta Clipper rushed in and through in perfect form, and as predicted. Frontal passage here in Lakeville happened around 1100 AM, and the change was swift and evident. The snow stopped, the wind shifted and increased in intensity, the skies cleared, and the temps fell...hard! Our overnight low was -14 which we hit at 0700 this morning, which had dropped steadily from a high of 24 just before the front passed yesterday.
We will slowly climb out of the below-zero temps today and tonight as the strong high pressure ridge moves east. Winds will not subside until after 1400 today, so wind chills will remain in the -35 to -20 range through noon, and in the -10 to -15 range after noon. This has prompted the NWS to continue wind chill warnings through the day.
Tonight the pattern begins to shift dramatically once again, as Pacific air moves over the cold dome of arctic air that is gripping the region. The resulting advection will produce a nice band of snow tomorrow, with models pointing to a just-after the morning rush time frame for arrival. 2-4" will again be the general potential from the system as snow bands clear by tomorrow night.
