Flood Warnings Continue As Does the Severe Weather Threat

The large storm system that has been keeping things unsettled and stormy for us and really the entire Midwest continues to edge its way eastward toward us, keeping things breezy, humid, and a little damp today.  In the wake of Sunday night’s severe storms that produced heavy rain and strong winds, there are still a number of Flood Warnings in effect for today and even some that won’t expire for a couple of additional days while severe weather remains a concern for us in the short term.  Look for occasional sunshine today that may work to destabilize the atmosphere, settting the stage for some strong thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening.  Right now the biggest concern appears to be damaging wind gusts that may topple or completely uproot trees.  We’ll also have to keep an eye on rainfall amounts as soils are very soggy and can’t hold much more if any additional moisture.  The rainfall from today’s showers doesn’t appear to be as heavy as Sunday’s but even a small dose now would make things worse, so the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for the eastern part of our viewing area.  There is also a marginal tornado threat and of course a chance for some hail in some of the stronger storms.

A look at some of the highest rainfall amounts across the area.  Rochester received 2.07" officially Sunday, a record for the date.

The latest Storm Prediction Center outlook places the eastern half of our area in the slight risk category for severe storms today and tonight.

A Warm, Unsettled Weekend

The storm system to our west that looks to bring some unsettled, stormier weather to our area this weekend is also going to pull in some warmer and eventually more humid weather for us.  Of course, that humidity will prime the atmosphere for those rain chances while it keeps the summer-like feel in the air that we’ve been experiencing all week long.  We’re expecting some showers and thunderstorms late this evening and tonight and those look to stick around for much of Friday.  The entire weekend won’t be a washout, but there will be some shower chances each day with this upcoming storm system.  Look for morning showers Saturday with a fair amount of sunshine still around to warm us into the lower 80s.  We’ll have more widespread showers and thunderstorms Sunday.  It’s too early to tell if there will be severe weather this weekend, but right now the best chance looks to be later in the day Sunday into early Monday.  Rain chances with this storm system look to linger into Wednesday with temperatures slowly falling to the lower and mid 70s which is a bit closer to what we normally expect this time of the year.  If you’re heading up north, here’s a look at your weekend getaway forecast:

It'll be a comfrotable, but unsettled weather picture in northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin this weekend.

Springing Into Summer

You don’t need me to tell you that it has been downright cold to start 2013.  It looks though we will head right into Summer, at least in the short term.  To date we have not seen the 80s yet.  Last year at this time we had already seen them 3 times. That may not seem like that remarkable of a stat, but two of those 80s came in that crazy March last year.  What I’m trying to get at is that we have a chance on Tuesday to add a tally in the 80s column, maybe even the 90s column.  We will switch from an abnormally  cool airmass from over the weekend to an abnormally warm one for the month of May.  Quite frankly we could get close to records.  The record for Rochester on Tuesday in 94 set back in 2007.  That number is in realm of possibilities, but the stars would have to align as much as they possibly could to for that record to fall.  The more likely number will be the upper 80s with a few spots jumping into the lower 90s on Tuesday.

Air masses will change this week. 

F ADVISORY2

 

The heat won’t last long though.  The 70s will stick with us for the next several days after Tuesday.  Those numbers are still above average for this time of the year.  For the latest on the warm up check kttc.com/weather.

An Adjustment in the Final Winter Snowfall Total

Normally we wouldn’t even be talking about the seasonal snowfall totals this far into May because the last of our measurable snow would have occurred weeks or even months ago, but because of our crazy spring that has featured 41.7 inches since of snow officially since March first (the start of “meteorological spring”) we’re posting this now.  The huge snow storm last week produced enough snow in two days to push us into fourth place overall for annual snowfall.  We received 14.0 inches on Thursday in what turned out to be the fourth snowiest single day of measurable snowfall in Rochester’s history and then another half inch fell on Friday in a secondary wave, pushing us into fourth place on that list.  The National Weather Service adjusted the official total earlier this week from 0.3 inches on Friday to 0.5 inches, a small change that made a big difference in our statistical standing. 

An unusually cold and snowy spring pushed Rochester into the top ten chart for annual snowfall. 57.1 inches fell after January.

Given that high temperatures in the 50s, 60s, 70s and possibly 80s are being forecast for the next couple of weeks, we’re thinking snowfall is finished for the season, but we then again we thought that last month too, so stay tuned…and keep your fingers crossed that spring is here to stay!
