Our weather will be flavored more by the Pacific than the Arctic looking out 2 weeks. While California is pummeled by a parade of flooding storms, I see little weather drama here - maybe some slush next Thursday. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

A snowy coating is possible today in the metro as another smear of light snow tracks north of MSP; a couple inches from Mille Lacs to Brainerd and Alexandria. A southern system may brush MSP with a little slush Friday, but most of the moisture stays south of town. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Tuesdays summer mirage gives way to wind-whipped showers and sprinkles today and Thursday. Far northern Minnesota may see a coating of slush by Sunday, but the metro remains flake-free until further notice. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

If the sun stays out most of today (likely) we may hit 80F in the metro, with a few isolated severe T-storms possible this evening. After todays mild breeze I see a parade of cold fronts and wind-whipped showers. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

A stalled "cut off low" swirling over Ontario will send cold front #2 hurtling our way Sunday, and by early next week it will be cold enough for snow, even in the Twin Cities metro. However, moisture will be lacking. Nothing new. Models hint at a few slushy inches for Lake of the Woods with flurries into the Brainerd Lakes early next week.

After a comfortable Wednesday with less wind and reasonable humidity we start to heat up late in the week, igniting a flurry of T-storms Thursday night into Friday morning. Another storm may fire up Saturday, with Sunday the sunnier, drier (hotter) day of the weekend. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Upper level winds are showing signs of an apparent heat dome that will set up over the Midwest for several days starting this weekend. The result could send surface temps across much of the region into the 90s and 100s through early next week. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

A clipper turns on our malfunctioning wind machine again today with gusts over 30 mph. Rain arrives Wednesday and a surge of southern warmth and moisture may ignite a few thunderstorms Friday night into Saturday; the milder day of the weekend.

Cool sunshine today gives way to an Easter Sunday coating of slush, mainly at night. A chilling start next week ends with a May-like finish: in one week we may bein the 70s with T-storms. 40 degrees in 4 days? I should be serving Dramamine with my 7-Day. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson
