The KAXE area will have a chance of rain on Saturday (March 27) and somewhat seasonal temperatures this weekend. The last few days of March will become quite warm, and we will be able to say that March came in like a lamb and also went out like a lamb! It's been close to our warmest on record and will certainly finish somewhere in the top five or ten. Consistent with the warm temperatures has been a total absence of measurable snowfall across all of Minnesota except for 0.2" at International Falls. The combination of near-record warmth and no snow may bring record-early ice-out to northern Minnesota lakes. The early ice-out records in north-central Minnesota are generally about a week into April. In particular, it is April 6 for Pokegama Lake in Grand Rapids-- set in the year 2000.
After seasonal temperatures Saturday and Sunday along with a chance of scattered areas of rain on Saturday, the weather will get warmer during this upcoming week. Highs should get at least into the 60s. Chances of rain and maybe a thunderstorm or two may return at the end of the week or around Easter Sunday. Round-the-clock above freezing temperatures and humidity will be favorable for rapid ice melt.
