SNOW UPDATE (11:30am Tuesday): Up to 8" of total snow remains possible in Cottage Grove, most of this occurring between tonight and Wednesday night. A rain/snow mix or light dusting is possible as early as this evening, which is when temperatures are expected to be closer to freezing (can't rule out a brief rain/snow mix before […]
Two very cold back-to-back storm systems will affect the region through Thursday, then another chance for snow possibly Sunday and Monday. There's been some changes with computer model data that creates uncertainties with snow amounts here. Current spread of possibilities is 1-8", but the 4:00pm updated data suite suggests 1-4" more likely (but not 100%). […]
SUNDAY'S UPDATE: Much colder next week with temperatures as much as 20 degrees below normal. Up to 1-5" of total snow is possible between about sunset Tuesday through Thursday night. Wednesday has the best chances for snow and is also when most of the snowfall will occur. WINDS: Monday night through Tuesday can gust up […]
A very cold storm will affect the region Monday evening through early Thursday morning. This system has limited moisture, so any snow that falls below 1000' should be light. Here in Cottage Grove, Monday night through Tuesday morning presents an opportunity for us to see a dusting to 1" of snow. Tuesday and Wednesday will […]
Partly to mostly cloudy through Sunday; some sunny breaks, especially on Friday. No rain, very light to calm winds. The weather gets really interesting on Tuesday and Wednesday as a low pressure system with lots of cold air passes through the state. This *may* present opportunities for snow here in Cottage Grove, especially Tuesday night […]
SNOW: Two storms will affect us to about 9am tomorrow. Total snowfall ranges from a dusting to 3-4” with isolated spots of 5” or so. The reason for a wide range is that snow isn't expected to be uniform because precipitation will be "scattered" (some spots get more, some spots less). So it's impossible to […]
I'll be doing a live report on air with KNND Monday morning at 8:30. Breezy Monday, gusts up to 25 mph. Light rain will develop tonight and change over to showers Monday morning. Showers Monday afternoon with isolated hail or ice pellets and even a rumble of thunder or two. A mix of snow as […]
Ready for snow? Very latest data continues to support the likelihood that we'll see anywhere from some flakes to a dusting to 4" of snow Monday night to about mid-morning Tuesday. There's still some uncertainties, so it's not 100% that we'll get snow (although chances are now a little higher that ingredients may come together […]
We hit 65° today (Thursday) in Cottage grove. Normal is 52°. A cold storm system will bring some very light rain showers to our area this evening or early night through Friday afternoon (totaling 1/10" or less). Notice how much colder it will get tomorrow through next week:
A very cold low pressure system is expected to affect the area Monday and Tuesday of next week (see predicted temperatures below). This system will pack enough cold air and moisture, that, if the winds cooperate and ingredients come together just right, snow levels could drop to near 500'. At this time, there is at […]
