Happy St. Patty's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all you Irish and pretend-to-be Irish out there!  The Spring melt is in full swing here in Minnesota with temps right around 50 around the region today.  Unfortunately, the only green on the weather map is the counties around the country currently under flood watches, warnings, or advisories.  Visit weather.gov for detailed information.  The next several days could be relatively stormy which is normal for this time of year.  Any type of precip that falls will fall on ground that is already saturated with moisture causing runoff in to streams and rivers.  All of the major river valleys around the country are swollen and vulnerable to rain.  Several storm systems could impact our area this week with the best chance for rain coming Sunday in to Monday and a threat of snow mixed with rain on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Stay tuned as we track severe weather in the plains and other weather throughout the country next week.  Have a great evening!
