Winter Weather Update 3-20-10 2140




Current conditions at the Spencer Mesonet site include temperatures at 28 degrees and winds from the north-northwest at just under 15 mph creating a windchill of 16.6 degrees. Attached graphic products include Updated Snowfall Totals, anticipated Conditions Tonight and Sunday Predictions.

Latest from the National Weather Service:

An upper level low will move slowly east along the Red River tonight. Light snow wrapping around the storm system will line up from north to south along the Interstate 35 corridor. An additional one to three inches of snow will fall near I-35 and eastward through Sunday morning. Flurries will end farther west...but wherever there is snow falling or already on the ground...brisk northwest winds will continue to create some blowing snow and reduction to visibility. Conditions will improve slowly on Sunday. Greater improvement will come Sunday night and Monday as dry and warmer weather moves in behind the storm. Another weather system will arrive near the middle of next week...producing mainly rain.

We will continue to monitor and provide updates as available and necessary.
