More rain on the way...perhaps first snow?

Another potent storm system is forecast to move through the area beginning late Monday into Monday night, lasting through most of Tuesday. The heaviest looks like it will fall overnight Monday through Tuesday morning. Totals between half an inch and an inch and a half look likely across parts of eastern MN and western WI. Below is a forecast map for early Tuesday morning. We are still well below where we should be for rainfall so far this year, so this will hopefully help out with our deficit.



Temps really cool off towards the end of this week, with the NWS even mentioning a rain/snow mix at the end of the week/this coming weekend. Below is the European (top) and GFS (bottom) forecast model, both showing cold enough temps for this to happen, should we get precipitation. This, by far, is no winter storm, but the first snows are always exciting. The cold front looks to collide with some warmer air well southeast of here, and some heavy rains are possible in the Ohio River Valley.
