MORE SUBDUED THIS YEAR.
GOOGLE PLANS TO SKIP ITS
TRADITIONAL JOKES DUE TO THE
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC.
AND HEAD BACK TO LISA.
AND SOUNDS LIKE THE WEATHER IS
NO JOKE HERE IN JUST A COUPLE OF
DAYS.
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY I EVEN
HEARD YOU SAY, LISA.
YEAH.
I DON'T MESS AROUND WITH THE
WEATHER.
I WON'T JOKE AROUND ABOUT THAT.
NO JOKES HERE.
IT'S AN INTERESTING WEATHER
SYSTEM.
THAT'S WHAT WE GET THIS TIME OF
YEAR.
SPRING IS TRANSITIONAL FROM
WINTER TO SUMMER.
AND WE HAVE A
WEATHER SYSTEM THAT'S GOING TO
BE A MIX OF BOTH.
AND WE DID MISS OUT ON THE
RAIN.
LET ME SHOW YOU ON THE RADAR
PICTURE.
TO THE SOUTH OF THE TWIN CITIES,
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN ALONG
I-90.
AND THAT WAS THE SMALL WINDOW I
WAS TALKING ABOUT, 7:00 TO
11:00.
AND THE NEXT SYSTEM, WE WON'T
MISS THIS.
THIS IS OFF TO WEST.
A SCOPE OF
THE WEATHER SYSTEM IS LARGE AND
WE ARE ANTICIPATING IMPACTING
FOR EVERYONE.
THAT'S NOT UNTIL TOMORROW,
MAINLY TOMORROW NIGHT AND
FRIDAY.
YOU LUCK OUT TODAY, YOU CAN GET
OUTSIDE AND ENJOY.
47 IN THE TWIN CITIES.
WINDS MORE NOTICEABLE THAN
YESTERDAY OUT OF THE SOUTH.
A SOUTH EASTERLY WIND 15 TO 20
MILES PER HOUR.
THOSE ARE KICKING UP INTO
FRIDAY.
OKAY.
SO THE HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY,
54 AND INCREASING CLOUDS.
THE
CLOUD COVER THICKENS UP TONIGHT
AND THE WEATHER SYSTEM PUSHES
IN.
TEMPERATURES NOT TOO BAD.
OVERNIGHT LOW, 44 IN THE TWIN
CITIES.
TO THE NORTH, IN THE 30s.
AND TOMORROW, LOOK AT THIS.
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A WEATHER
IMPACT IN THE SYSTEM, A BIG
TEMPERATURE GRADIENT, THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
TEMPERATURES FROM THE WEST TO
THE EAST, FROM THE 30s TO THE
60s, ALMOST DOUBLING BETWEEN THE
TWO FROM THE IMPACT OF THE
SYSTEM.
HIGH TEMPERATURE IN FARGO, THE
RAIN TO SNOW EARLIER BECAUSE IT
IS MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST.
37 TO 60.
AND 57 IN THE TWIN CITIES.
HERE'S THE BREAKDOWN.
TOMORROW, CLOUD COVER IN PLACE
AND TEMPERATURES NOT BAD.
BY 9:00 P.M., DINNER TIME AND
THE TIMES AFTER THAT, WE'RE A GO
FOR THE CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE
TWIN CITIES.
THERE ARE THE WEATHER ALERTS.
AGAIN, OBVIOUSLY OFF TO WEST.
THAT'S WHERE THE SYSTEM IS ON
THE RADAR.
AND WE HAVE THE WINTER STORM
WATCH IN PLACE FROM ALEXANDRIA
AND WILMER.
AND IT WILL GO IN EFFECT
TOMORROW AT 4:00 P.M.
UNTIL
10:00 A.M.
ON FRIDAY.
AND THE REASON FOR THIS, YOU ARE
LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL OF ICE.
I THINK THAT WILL BE THE
GREATEST CONCERN TRAVELING UP 94
TO THE WEST THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY MORNING, THAT'S GOING TO
BE TOUGH FOR THE TRAVEL IN THESE
LOCATIONS FRIDAY MORNING BECAUSE
OF THE WAY THE TEMPERATURE
PROFILE WE CALL IT OF THE SYSTEM
IS LOOKING RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE THAT RAIN TRANSITIONING
TO SNOW.
IT IS POSSIBLE WE COULD BE
SEEING EVEN UP TO A TENTH OF AN
INCH OF ICE IN THIS LOCATIONS.
THAT INCLUDES ALEXANDRIA AND THE
WEST.
ICE AND SNOW TO THE NORTHWEST OF
THAT.
AND THE SAME TIMING AS THE
SYSTEM TO SHIFT TO THE EAST, WE
COULD START TO SEE THAT IN THE
TWIN CITIES ONCE WE SEE THE
SYSTEM EVOLVE.
AND THAT'S THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY MORNING.
TO THE NORTHWEST, THAT'S WHERE
WE'RE TRACKING THE ACCUMULATION
OF ICE AND SNOW.
AND WE'RE LOOKING AT RAIN.
THE TIMING OF THIS IS STARTING
TO KICK UP I WOULD SAY AFTER
DINNER, CLOSER TO 9:00 P.M.
THURSDAY AND GOING INTO FRIDAY.
TOMORROW MORNING MIGHT BE DRY
ACROSS THE AREA.
AND THEN WE HAVE THAT WINDOW OF
RAIN, THAT WINTERY MIX, FREEZING
RAIN AND SLEET AND A LITTLE BIT
OF SNOW.
THAT WILL MELT SO IT'S NOT A BIG
DEAL.
BY FRIDAY, WE HAVE THE COLD
TEMPERATURES AND ALSO THE WIND
THROWN IN THERE.
AND LOOK AT FRIDAY'S HIGH, 36
DEGREES.
CHILLY.
NOT FOR LONG.
ONCE WE HEAD TO SUNDAY, BACK THE
60.
AND A COUPLE OF RAIN CHANCES ON
THE BOARD.
AND HEATHER BROWN ON THE MORNING
