Additional accumulations will generally be a half an inch or less. Colder air will begin to filter in behind the exiting system, so temperatures will be a little cooler tonight - dropping mainly into the single digits. Canadian high pressure builds into the region on Monday, keeping cold temperatures across the area. Highs will be in the teens. Long term (Monday night through Sunday) issued at 320 pm cst Sun feb 17 2019 the active weather pattern continues on Tuesday as another upper level trough tracks into the northern plains. There are still some differences among the models with regard to both upper and surface level features, though there is a fairly good consensus on the potential for moderate snow accumulations over our area for Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday afternoon. As in the recent event, winds look to be relatively light so blowing snow should not be an issue. Although there will be some gradual moderation in temperatures for the remainder of the week, readings still look to be below normal |
for this time of year. And once again, snow looks to move back into the area for Thursday night through Friday. Although there are model differences, there will be another potential for light to moderate snowfall accumulation across the area. Aviation (for the 00z tafs through 00z Monday evening) issued at 527 pm cst Sun feb 17 2019 periodic light snows will continue into the overnight hours. Ceilings will vary considerably through the night, ranging from lowVFR to high ifr in a few spots. Visibility may temporarily drop near 1 mile at times, but should prevail around 3 to 4 miles in most locations. Ceilings may slowly improve through the day on Monday.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
