YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO
HAVE AN UMBRELLA HANDY IF YOU
ARE TAKING THE DOG FOR A WALK
LATER TONIGHT.
WE WANT TO GET A CHECK ON THE
FORECAST FROM MIKE'S HOME
STUDIO NOW.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS ISN'T
GOING TO LAST THAT LONG.
Reporter: IT WILL BE IN AND
OUT QUICKLY.
THE COLD PART OF THE STORM WILL
BE THE SMALL PART OF THE STORM
FOR US.
WHILE IT IS ALREADY SNOWING AND
BEING A LITTLE ICY ACROSS THE
RED RIVER VALLEY.
SPEAKING OF ICE, OFFICIAL
ICEOUT DECLARED ON LAKE
MINNETONKA TODAY.
RICKY, OUR WEATHER WATCHER,
REPORTING 36 DEGREES.
HE SAYS FOG IS MOVING NO SLOWLY
FROM THE SOUTH.
THE WESTERN PART OF OUR AREA IS
DEFINITELY THE COLD PART.
ORTONVILLE 32, DORA LAKE 41.
THEN YOU GET FURTHER EAST A
BIT, WALKER AND ALEXANDRIA ARE
IN THE LOWER TO MID 50s.
BIG LAKE IS 56.
51 ROSEVILLE.
52 CHASKA.
52 PINE ISLAND.
AMERY MID 50s.
FARIBAULT 58.
NEW ULM IN THE LOW 60s WITH
SUNSHINE.
WE'LL SEE SOME SUN TODAY.
IT WILL BE MORE CLOUDS THAN
SUN.
OVERALL, A NICE DAY IF YOU
DON'T MIND THE BREEZE ACROSS
EASTERN MINNESOTA AND
WISCONSIN.
HERE'S WHERE IT STARTED TO BE
ICY.
RED RIVER VALLEY, GRAND FORKS
TO FARGO AND PUSHING TOWARD THE
RED LAKES, A LITTLE BIT OF
CHILLY RAIN AND SLEET MIXED IN
TIME TO TIME.
THE MOISTURE WITH THIS STORM IS
STILL MOSTLY WEST OF MINNESOTA.
IT IS HEADED IN.
I THINK NORTHERN MINNESOTA AND
ESPECIALLY NORTHWESTERN
MINNESOTA WILL BE IN THE
JUICEST PART OF THE STORM AND
THE COLDEST PART OF THIS STORM.
LOOK AT THESE FEELS-LIKE
TEMPERATURES.
FARGO FEELS-LIKE 12.
BISMARK, RAPID CITY, CASPER,
EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY
IN APRIL, WIND CHILLS BELOW
ZERO.
TEMPERATURES WILL START TO FALL
SLOWLY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON IN
THE RED RIVER VALLEY.
THE CORE OF THE COLDEST AIR
WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL LATER
TONIGHT.
LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH THE
FORECAST.
NOTICE A LITTLE BIT OF A SNOW,
FREEZING RAIN SLEET MIX IN THE
RED RIVER VALLEY EASTWARD.
BEMIDJI TO ALEXANDRIA, WARM
ENOUGH FOR MOSTLY RAIN SHOWERS.
BY 5:00 TONIGHT, THAT'S WHEN
WE'LL SEE THE SHOWERS BREAK
OUT.
SCATTERED AT FIRST IN THE TWIN
CITIES.
IN FAR WESTERN MINNESOTA, COLD
ENOUGH FOR AN ICY OR SNOWY MIX.
WE HOLD ON TO 50s TONIGHT IN
THE TWIN CITIES EASTWARD.
OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES START TO
FALL.
TOMORROW MORNING AT 8:00 IN THE
TWIN CITIES, COOL ENOUGH WE'LL
START TO SEE A MIX OF SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN WHILE JUST WEST
OF US, YOU CAN SEE IT WILL BE
COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW.
EAST OF US, ACROSS WISCONSIN
AND THE ARROWHEAD, WILL BE A
LITTLE BIT OF RAIN SHOWER
ACTIVITY.
THROUGH MID TO LATE MORNING,
ICY MIX POSSIBLE.
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF WET SNOW
ON THE TAIL END.
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, THE
COLDER AIR WORKS INTO WISCONSIN
AND ACROSS THE ARROWHEAD FOR A
MIX.
WE CLEAR OUT COMING UP
OVERNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY.
IN AND OUT IN THIS HOURS.
LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS
FREEZING RAIN.
ANY TIME WE SEE OVER AN INCH OF
FREEZING RAIN, THAT IS WHEN WE
GET CONCERNED THAT THE WEAKER
TREE LIMBS COULD BREAK AND
BRING DOWN POWER LINES.
THE CHANCE IS ACROSS WESTERN
MINNESOTA IN THE DEEP PURPLE
SHADED AREAS.
IN THE TWIN CITIES THERE COULD
BE A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE.
WHICH MEANS SLICK TRAVEL 6:00
A.M.
TO 11:00 A.M.
YES, MAIN SLEET MAYBE SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN.
IN THE METRO, A BETTER CHANCE
OF SHOVELABLE ACCUMULATIONS
WITH ICE UNDERNEATH.
THAT'S THE FORECAST FOR THE
WINTER PART OF THIS STORM.
AGAIN, TOMORROW WE WAKE UP NEAR
36.
WE'LL FALL TO BLOW FREEZING
THROUGH THE MIDDLE PART OF THE
DAY.
TEMPERATURES RECOVER TOWARD THE
END OF THE DAY.
A REVERSE TEMPERATURE PATTERN
TOMORROW COMPARED TO WHAT WE
ARE USED TO.
THE WEEKEND LOOKS GOOD.
48 IN THE TWIN CITIES ON
SATURDAY.
BELOW AVERAGE BUT DRY.
SUNDAY LOOKS NICE.
WARMER MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
A LITTLE UNSETTLED.
MAYBE A RUMBLE OF THUNDER
TUESDAY.
THAT IS A MUCH BETTER MORE
APRIL FEEL THAN WHAT WE HAVE
