Our Next Storm Trending Further East

The next winter storm for the Upper Midwest is moving in with rain and snow falling in parts of Montana and North Dakota as of Sunday afternoon. The precipitation will continue to expand and move southeastward. However, the heaviest snowfall now appears like it will fall north and east of our area, sparing us the worst. Computer forecasting models originally placed the I-29 corridor in the brunt of this storm, with just one outlier putting the snow band much further east as shown in the last KDLT Weather Blog post. Well, over the last 48 hours, most of the models have begun to agree more with this outlier, shifting the band of heavy snow to our east to include much of central and eastern Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. The I-29 corridor, highway 12 corridor, and western Minnesota can still expect some snowfall accumulation, but widespread heavy snow is no longer anticipated. The image to your left shows what some of the most recent forecast models are showing for overall snowfall accumulation through Wednesday. Though not concrete, this scenario looks more and more likely. But just remember that actual snow accumulations can vary from the computer models and can shift in different directions with no warning, so the possibility of several inches of snow remains along and east of I-29. Stay tuned to KDLT and KDLT.com for further updates. |
