A strong low -pressure system will move through the area between Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, which brings both a warm front followed by a strong cold front. All Friday, the warm front leads to warmer temperatures with the chance that strong to heavy storms are possible on Friday evening before they handle rain/snow mixture and snow on Saturday morning, with wind, which could lead to another round with blizzy conditions at times.

Until the system arrives, the conditions remain pleasant and calm with just an increase in clouds and winds, today and on Friday afternoon. Today we mostly see sunny to partially cloudy sky with temperatures that rise to the upper 60s and low 70s throughout the area. The winds increase all day and become between 10 and 20 miles per hour with gusts of up to 30 miles per hour this afternoon. Tonight, mostly cloudy and partially cloudy are cloudy when the temperatures fall into the low 50, as the winds remain airy in Friday morning.

Friday then begins with a mixture of mainly sunny to partially cloudy sky in the morning. The clouds are expected to increase, with the sky being largely cloudy until afternoon when, after the light rain at the west of Mankato at 4:00 p.m. The winds are quite strong and range from 20 and 25 miles per hour with gusts of up to 40 miles per hour or more. The showers start light and stained in the west before a series of showers and thunderstorms extends over the area with the passage of a warm front. Storms that cheer along the warm front could become strong to heavy with the main threats, including harmful winds and/or large hail. The further southeast you drive in the northeast and East Central Iowa, the greater the tornado risk. Thunderstorm chances will probably find out if the showers continue to Saturday morning when the cold front approaches and the temperatures fall into the mid -1940s.

The cold front should go through the area early Saturday morning, which means that our high for Saturday in the early morning with temperatures will take place in the mid -1940s. As soon as the front enforces, the winds only rise and the temperatures drop steadily and reach the low 30s to the afternoon. The winds increase and range between 25 and 35 miles per hour with gusts of up to 45 miles per hour. When the temperatures sink in the course of the morning and in the afternoon hours, at some point it will rain with snow when we make the transition to snow showers in the area. When snow showers develop while the temperatures are falling, the conditions are expected to deteriorate from reduced visibility to drifting to extremely smooth roads. Blizzard -similar conditions remain possible despite the lower snow that is expected in the region. The snowy sums will probably be the hardest along the Minnesota/South Dakota border and the lightest on the further east. This means that most of the area observes a dust of up to 2 inches of snow, whereby areas closer to the border between Minnesota/South Dakota (far northwestern Iowa and far southwest to Westcentral Minnesota) 2 to 4 inches are possible. In some areas along the border, more than 4 inch snow could be seen depending on the official transition from rain to snow. Snow is expected to complete in the late evening in order to hold back a partially cloudy sky and strong winds when the temperatures fall into the upper teenagers by Sunday morning.

Fortunately, Sunshine returns to the area on Sunday. Due to the cold front on Saturday, the temperatures will generally be much colder. We see ourselves in the upper 30-year-old highs in the areas, since the winds reach up to 20 miles per hour up to 20 miles per hour per hour. The mostly clearly and quiet remains on Sunday evening, as the temperatures fall into the upper 20s by Monday morning.

Next week I want to be on the quieter side despite a much weaker, secondary cold front, which is supposed to move through the area between Monday and Tuesday. Before the weaker, secondary cold front, the conditions will be largely sunny on Monday afternoon when the temperatures rise to the upper 50s. The winds remain airy and sometimes reach up to 15 miles per hour with gusts of up to 20 miles per hour. Monday evening is gradually cloudy in front of the weaker cold front, since the temperatures fall into the upper 30s by Tuesday morning.

Tuesday will then be partly cloudy and mostly cloudy, with the chance of one or two showers during the afternoon. The weaker cold front will only go through until the night in the late night, which means that the temperatures with the heights remain pleasant with the heights in the mid -1950s until the afternoon. Due to the weaker cold front, the winds remain airy and sometimes reach up to 20 miles per hour with gusts of up to 30 miles per hour. If the cold front moves through the area late Tuesday evening, the temperatures will probably fall into the upper 20s, with a stray snow shower or two overnight to Wednesday morning.

From there, Wednesday remains mostly cloudy all day. Thanks to these weaker cold front, the temperatures will probably exceed in the mid -1940s. Winds remain airy and sometimes reach up to 20 miles per hour with gusts of up to 30 miles per hour. Wednesday evening gradually becomes clear when the temperatures fall into the mid -1920s by Thursday morning.

Thursday will be largely sunny and windy. We look at the highs that float between 20 and 30 miles per hour with gusts of up to 40 miles per hour in the mid -1940s. The Thursday evening is usually clearly and partially cloudy when the temperatures fall into the upper 20s by Friday morning.

Friday is partially cloudy when a few sprinkles up to one or two stray showers are possible. The temperatures will float in the mid -1940s until after the afternoon, since the winds are always 15 miles per hour with gusts of up to 20 miles per hour. Friday evening is between partially cloudy and mostly cloudy and with one or two possible snow showers when the temperatures fall into the upper 30s by Saturday morning.

Saturday wants to be on the cloudy side, mixed with sunshine bags. The temperatures are somewhat warmer, with the heights floating in the low 50s when the winds reach U up to 15 miles per hour, gusts of up to 20 km / h. During the afternoon times, one or two stray showers are possible with a slightly higher chance for a few scattered showers that are possible overnight, as the temperatures fall up to the upper 30s by Sunday morning.
