An easy start to this first week of March before a winter storm of the late season arrives

It was a cool start to the meteorological spring and March, but Sunday was a bit milder when we saw the return of seasonal temperatures, at least in the 30s. The weather stays calm tonight, with partially cloudy sky. Deeps will fall into the mid -1920s. While we will first enjoy the return of the mild weather, the focus this week is on a large storm system that crosses through the levels and takes into the large lakes. This will be a typical colorado deep that is notorious that Wisconsin brings a considerable winter weather. Although details still have to be ironed out, it seems likely that we will deal with a snow accumulation in the late season, whereby high effects are expected to travel. Before that, however, the weather will be largely pleasant on Monday, as the clouds gradually increase and the south winds develop. A milder air boost will return for some of us 50 -degree temperatures, while a rain shower is also possible on the late day. The Rocky Mountains leaves low pressure and strengthens over the central levels. The moisture will get out with another weak warm front in the south before the low. A few showers and drizzle will take place on Monday evening at the chances on Tuesday.

Although we are confident how this will develop, some questions remain in the exact trace of the deep and when the transition from the rain to the snow occurs. This will be a big factor for the entire snow accumulation. As soon as we switch to snow, it can be difficult for at least a few hours and will also re-blown and drive around with strengthening the northeast and north winds. The general effects on trips with the accumulation and wind have prompted us to explain a first watchful weather day, from Tuesday evening and on Wednesday afternoon.

A few to several centimeters of snow accumulation seem to be fine, but that's exactly where the hardest gang remains a bit uncertain. The latest forecast models agree that it will include the Chippewa Valley and further southwest throughout the southeast of Minnesota. In this heaviest band there is a potential for at least 6 inch snow accumulation. It is expected that the storm is quite strong and creates a large wind field with the unusually low pressure for our region. Persistent winds overnight on Tuesday and up to a large part of Wednesday have risen by around 20 to 25 miles per hour, with gusts possible to 40 miles per hour. The result can lead to a significant bubbles and drifts. Wednesday morning is one of the high effects on trips. As soon as the snow leaves until later on Wednesday, drier weather will return. It will also be a bit colder for a few days with the fresh snow on the floor. On Thursday and Friday, sun and clouds with heights will be present in the 30s, although we have to keep an eye on another system on Friday, which may brush southern counties with a little more snow. It seems that the temperatures are moderated again by the weekend because the 1940s make a comeback.
