TOGETHER, REMINDING VISITORS TO
BRING THEIR COATS, HATS AND
GLOVES.
VERY CLEVER AND CUTE.

IT WAS NICE THAT WE GOT A
BREAK FROM THE COLD WEATHER THE
LAST COUPLE OF DAYS BUT WE HAVE
SOME MORE SNOW ON THE WAY.
RIGHT.
WE ARE SETTING THE STAGE FOR
THE NEXT SNOW.
NOT EVERYBODY WILL SEE SNOW
WITH THE NEXT STORM, BUT THERE
WILL BE A SMALL STRIPE IN THE
AREA THAT GETS HIT PRETTY HARD.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A
SECOND.
THE SKI REPORT TODAY LOOKS
PRETTY PROMISING DESPITE THE
WARM WEATHER.
STILL, A SOLID BASE AT A LOT OF
SKI RESORTS.
WILD MOUNTAIN, 26 TO 70 INCHES
OF BASE, 4 INCHES OF NEW SNOW
IN THE PAST WEEK OR SO.
100% OF THEIR TERRAIN OPEN.
CLOSE TO THAT AT AFTON ALPS, 48
RUNS OPEN, A NICE 24 TO 65 INCH
BASE.
19 TO 60 INCHES TO SKI ON IN
DETROIT MOUNTAIN.
AND, BUENA VISTA, 4 INCHES OF
NEW SNOW WITH EIGHT RUNS OPEN.
POWDER RIDGE, 4 INCHES OF NEW
SNOW, 100% IN OPERATION.
SAME THING AT GRANITE PEAKS.
MOUNT KATO, FIVE NEW INCHES,
AND, MT. ITASCO, A SOLID BASE
AT 40 TO 50 INCHES AND 8 INCHES
OF NEW SNOW IN THE PAST WEEK.
SO, WE WILL GET SOME MORE
ADDITIONAL REAL SNOW OUT THERE
COMING UP IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
BUT, THERE ARE THINGS WE KNOW
ABOUT THIS ON COMING STORM AND
STILL A FEW THINGS WE DON'T
KNOW.
I THINK THROUGH THE WEEKEND AT
WORST, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A
NUISANCE ROUND OF FLURRIES.
PARTICULARLY IN CENTRAL
MINNESOTA.
WITH THE REAL SNOW STARTING
EITHER LATE SUNDAY NIGHT OR IN
THE PREDAWN HOURS OF MONDAY.
IT WILL BE A HEAVY, WET
CONSISTENCY SNOW ACCOMPANIED BY
WIND COMING UP DURING THE DAY
MONDAY.
GUSTS UP TO 30 TO 35 MILES AN
HOUR.
AND THIS TYPE OF STORM TRACK
FEATURES A NARROW SWATH OF 8 TO
12 INCHES OF SNOW, MAYBE EVEN A
FEW COMMUNITIES LOCALLY THAT
GET MORE THAN THAT.
THE QUESTION AS ALWAYS IS,
WHERE WILL THAT BE?
I STILL CAN'T TELL YOU EXACTLY
WHERE THAT WILL BE YET BECAUSE
THE STORM IS STILL OFFSHORE.
THIS IS A SATELLITE VIEW OF THE
UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
WE TALK ABOUT THE JETSTREAM A
LOT.
THIS IS A SATELLITE VIEW OF THE
JETSTREAM.
THIS DIP IS THE ENERGY THAT
WILL PRODUCE THE INCOMING
STORM.
AND, THIS IS A STREAM OF
MOISTURE, PACIFIC MOISTURE
COMING IN.
SO THAT TELLS YOU TWO THINGS.
FIRST OF ALL, THE STORM WILL
HAVE A LOT TO WORK WITH.
SECOND OF ALL, THE STORM IS
STILL OUT OF THE OCEAN WHERE WE
HAVE VERY LITTLE DATA ON IT.
WHEN WE USE COMPUTER MODELS TO
FORECAST, WE NEED A GOOD
INITIAL CONDITION, A GOOD
OBSERVATION AS TO WHAT'S
HAPPENING NOW TO GIVE US A GOOD
FORECAST IN THE FUTURE.
THAT'S WHY THIS STORM HAS BEEN
SO HARD TO FORECAST MORE THAN A
FEW DAYS IN ADVANCE.
WE KNOW IT'S COMING BUT WE
DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHAT TRACK
IT'S GOING TO TAKE.
THIS MORNING, MAINLY CLOUDY
SKIES WITH BREAKS IN THE
CLOUDS.
RADAR IS PICKING UP MIX
PRECIPITATION BUT THAT IS ALL
DRYING OUT BEFORE REACHING THE
GROUND.
VERY QUIET, A FEW PEAKS OF SUN,
OTHERWISE MOSTLY CLOUDY.
TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE
40s SOUTH OF I-94 TO THE MID-TO
UPPER 30s UP NORTH.
THERE WILL BE MELTING COMING
EVEN UP NORTH.
HOLDING ONTO A FEW BREAKS IN
THE CLOUDS.
COOLER UP NORTH TONIGHT WITH
TEENS THERE.
THAT KEEPS US ABOVE THE AVERAGE
HIGH, EVEN THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.
TOMORROW WITH A NORTH WIND
STARTING TO PICK UP AS THE
STORM APPROACHES, TEMPERATURES
WILL BE HELD BACK A LITTLE BIT
BUT A FAIRLY MILD SUNDAY.
THAT INCLUDES TEMPERATURES IN
PHILLY FOR THE VIKINGS GAME.
A5: 40 CENTRAL TIME KICKOFF.
A LITTLE BIT BREEZY BUT DRY AND
QUIET WEATHER THROUGH THE GAME.
SO, I DON'T THINK THE WEATHER
WILL BE A FACTOR FOR THEM.
LET'S GET BACK TO OUR STORM.
STARTING TOMORROW MORNING AT
8:00, CHANCE FOR NUISANCE
FLURRIES MAINLY NORTH AND
NORTHWEST OF THE TWIN CITIES.
RIGHT THROUGH 6:00 TOMORROW
NIGHT, NOTHING GOING ON.
AND AFTER THE VIKINGS GAME
WRAPS UP, THAT'S WHEN WE START
TO GET THE FIRST LOOK AT LIGHT
SNOW, EVEN MONDAY MORNING IN
THE METRO, PROBABLY NOT SNOWING
ALL THAT HARD.
WITH HEAVIER SNOW TO THE SOUTH.
AND AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY
MONDAY AND THE STORM GETS
CLOSER AND CRANKS UP, THESE
DEEP PURPLES CRANK INTO THE
PICTURE.
THAT'S THE HEAVY SNOW THAT WILL
BE FALLING MAINLY INTO THE
AFTERNOON AND MONDAY EVENING.
NOTICE TO THE NORTH AND WEST,
NOTHING.
SO WHERE EXACTLY THE LINE SETS
UP WILL DETERMINE WHO GETS SOME
SNOW AND WHO GETS NOTHING.
BUT, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL IN
THE METRO, HIGH POTENTIAL IN
FACT, THAT SNOW WILL HAVE A
MAJOR IMPACT AND WINS WILL HAVE
A MAJOR IMPACT.
REALLY KNOW I SEEM TO WORRY
ABOUT HERE.
I'M STILL NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU
EXACT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS.
I WILL TELL YOU THAT THERE WILL
BE A STRIPE AGAIN OF 8 TO 12
INCHES OF SNOW, SOMEWHERE
EITHER FROM THE TWIN CITIES ON
SOUTH BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE
THAT CUT OFF WILL BE COMING AT.
WE WILL NO LATER THIS EVENING.
SO, RATHER THAN LEAD YOU ASTRAY
AND PROJECTS THAT I KNOW
SOMETHING I DON'T, I'M GOING TO
SAY YOU WILL HAVE TO TUNE IN
LATER THIS EVENING.
I WOULD EXPECT PLOWABLE SNOW IN
THE METRO AND POINTS SOUTH, NO
