A weak “clipper” system is swinging through the region today, producing a little light festive snow for us, but accumulations are rather light and thanks to a mild weekend, it won’t be lingering through the holiday.  A ridge of high pressure is expected to build back into the Upper Mississippi Valley behind today’s disturbance, bringing bright, quiet sunshine to our area for Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day, meaning we’ll have perfect travel conditions for the entire holiday weekend.  Here’s the holiday weekend forecast for a few regional cities:

The Chicago Forecast

The Des Moines Forecast

The Fargo Forecast

The Rapid City, South Dakota Forecast
