Upper Midwest Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Upper Midwest Daily Snow

By Andrew Murray, Technical Founder & Meteorologist Posted 9 years ago April 9, 2014

Weather-wise, not much to talk about today. Right now most of central and southern Minnesota is seeing it’s warmest temperatures in almost half a year, with highs nearing the 70-degree mark. However, for the North Shore, Wisconsin, and the UP, temperatures are staying 60 and below, allowing for the snowpack to stick around a bit longer, especially where it has built up deep.

Right now the forecast looks to bring a round of rain and snow showers through the area tonight and into tomorrow morning with the cold front passage. Don’t see any accumulation with this, but it will peg down the temperatures 10-15 degrees or so.

The larger low pressure system currently forecast for Friday night and into Saturday is the big new, with the chance for the Upper Midwest to see significant rainfall. Yes I know rain, not the best for skiing, but it will usher in temperatures for next week that will allow a few brave ski areas to re-open for Easter weekend.

Speaking of ski areas, here is a quick rundown of what’s left open:

Nubs Nob - April 13
Granite Peak - April 13
Ski Brule - April 13
Boyne Mountain Resort - April 20
Lutsen Resort - April 20
Mount Bohemia - April 21

Of course these are all subject to change, but that’s what they are telling us!

Until then, either enjoy the start of spring. And pull out the rain jacket for some turns this weekend and hopefully some sunscreen for closing weekend!

Cheers,
Andrew
