Update on Weekend Precipitation (Jan 23-24)

The bulk of the weekend storm will be focused on the eastern Dakotas where a foot or more of snow will be possible. In northern Minnesota, my best guess right now would be that we'll get a mixture of light rain and snow that will start Saturday afternoon and continue on and off through late Sunday. By Sunday evening, more cold air will work into the system, changing all the rain to steady light snow. Expect 1-4" accumulation Sunday evening through Monday in Grand Rapids. Temperatures will likely hover in the 30-36 degree range most of the weekend.

After the system passes, I would expect another three or four weeks of dry weather based mostly the fact that late January through mid February is climatologically the driest part of the year (although there are always exceptions).
