More dry weather

Our driest month of the year will go down as even drier than average. We are the center of a massive, continental-scale high pressure system that will be very effective at keeping all storms (aside from maybe a light dusting of snow on Tuesday) away from northern Minnesota for the foreseeable future. In weather forecasting, the definition of foreseeable future is never beyond a couple weeks, but the pattern is so well-established and stable, I would not be surprised to see this last through March or maybe into April.

With high pressure in control and strengthening late February sunshine, we will have a large daily range of temperature, featuring comfortable highs around freezing and lows dropping into the single digits above and below zero.
