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 […]
Wind gusts up to 30 mph possible overnight (strongest 2am-6am Sunday). The rest of Sunday should have breezes below 20 mph. This storm system is expected to bring just over 1/2" of rain through Sunday evening (most of the rain occurs before noon with just isolated/scattered showers Sunday afternoon). Lowest snow levels: 2500'. Monday looks […]
WEATHER CAMS: I'm ordering the camera systems tomorrow and should have them installed later next week or early the following week. The poll favored downtown, so the first two go up there. One looking west from the Chamber of Commerce, the other looking east from Stacey's. Bohemia Gold Mining Museum may host a third one […]
We didn't get any snow last night, but we knew that the chances were minimal due to little moisture with the system. By the time cold enough air to cause snow arrived, there was just too little moisture left to work with. Winds overnight were stronger than forecast and therefore evaporated the wet pavement (along […]
Snow levels through this evening will stay above 2000', then lower to near 500 feet after 11:00pm. This system has very little moisture, so showers today and this evening will total less than 1/10". Any snow between 11pm tonight and 6:00am Sunday will be either as just some flakes to possibly a light dusting of […]
Best time for snow looks to be 11pm Saturday to sunrise Sunday. We could see just some flakes to up to an inch. That's about it since the system doesn't have a lot of moisture. Biggest impact will be the coldest temperatures of the season so far. Lows 15-20 likely Sunday night and Monday night. […]
