Meteorological Overtime!
This is the time of year people in and out of this business say "enough already". Storm after storm, the atmosphere is letting us know that there is plenty of warm, moist, air to the south and cold, dry, air to the north. This is making for one interesting March in what is sure to be a crazy month. In the short-term a low pressure system is digging out of the south west and will gain strength as it moves across the upper midwest. The system will track just slightly to the south and east of the forecasted track from several days ago. That is why they say "subject to change" I guess. That's the beauty of weather, you just never really know until it happens. This storm will still dump a wide swath of 8+ inches in SE Minnesota and West central Wisconsin. Twin Cities is looking at 3-5 inches. More in the southeast metro, less in the northwest metro. This storm will also bring significant severe weather to portions of OK, TX, AR, and LA. Long-lived supercell thunderstorms are forecasted to develop over eastern Texas and spread in to Arkansas and Louisiana by late afternoon/evening hours. There is still some uncertainty as to the timing and placement of these storms due to an atmospheric "cap". Stay Tuned tomorrow for further updates and details on this developing weather situation. Have a great evening!
