Things will remain quiet across the region for most of today, but by later in the day today and into the weekend an area of low pressure will be tracking from the southern Plains into the southern Midwest. This low looks to bring snows to the southern 2/3rds of IA, the northwest ½ of MO, the southern ¼ of WI, northern ¼ of IL and into central MI. Totals look to be heaviest in western MO, where 6-12" will be common and isolated to 12"+. Totals in the southern ½ of IA, NW IL and southeast WI look to be in the 3-6" range, with some isolated heavier totals and amounts elsewhere with this event look to be in the 1-4" range.

Mainly dry weather will occur to the north of the snow area and rains will fall to the south.

Things will quiet down by later Sunday.

Temps for the next 2-3 days will remain very mild for this time of the year with 50’s and a few 60’s in the north and 60’s in the south. The low and it’s clouds and precip will cool the air and there will also be some cooler air that dives into the Northwoods as we head through tomorrow and the weekend, but readings in most cases do not look to stray too far from average.

Things look to remain quiet in most of the region for Monday, but by later Monday night into Tuesday a chunk of the next system will spread some light snows across the Dakotas, most of MN, WI, the UP and lower MI. Totals look to be in the 1-3" range with that activity.

The main chunk of energy with the system next week will dive south into the southern Plains and spread rains into most of MO, IL, IN and OH by the second half of next week, with quiet weather in the north.

A bit of light snow may fall in northern MN, the UP and far northern sections of WI and lower MI by Thursday and Friday of next week, with most totals in the 1-3" range.

Temps next week look to run close to average in most of the Midwest.
