A Bit Puddly
Thanks to my sister Michelle Musil for the
picture below who noted a large puddle on Saturday afternoon. Thanks to
an early March 'tournament' snowstorm and some recent mild
weather/rain... puddles are showing up in neighborhoods near you! The
Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport had a maximum snow depth on
March 6th of 13" -- Midday Friday, that snow depth had dropped to 11" --
thanks to 0.40" of rain Friday night/AM Saturday, it had dropped to 8"
Flood Reports
With the recent heavy rains and rapid snow
melt, there were a number of standing water reports. A few more
'substantial' reports came in from the St. Peter/Mankato area. Portions
of hwy 169 near St. Peter were closed due to a mud slide.
Precipitation Today
Sunday's precipiation across
southern Minnesota was on the order of 0.50" to 0.75" of an inch and was
substantial enough to cause some minor flooding across the region.
Snowfall Reports
Unfortunately, this storm wasn't
as cut and dry as the system earlier this week. There was a wintry mix
across parts of the region including some freezing rain. There were also
some shovelable snowfall reports that came in across western and
northern Minnesota. The heaviest snow 7" in northcentral part of the
state.
Speaking of Rain...
How about that rain in Phoenix
on Friday? 0.84" on Friday in Phoenix becomes a new record for the day.
There were some spots that picked up over 1"
More Snow on the Way
The same storm that brought
heavy rain to parts of the Southwest/Midwest and heavy snow to parts of
the Front Range of the Rockies will also bring heavy snow to parts of
Wisconsin Sunday-Monday
U.S. Snowfall Next 3 Days
Here's a look at the U.S. Snowfall over the next 3 days.
3 Day Precipitation
NOAA's HPC 3 day precipitation
forecast suggest several rounds of heavier rainfall along the Gulf Coast
States as the storm system chugs east. A few vigorous thunderstorm may
be possible Sunday, but it won't be widespread severe.
Thanks for checking in, have a great rest of your weekend!
