Weather Review | Week of Mar 2-8

Key Messages:

Warming trend through the upcoming week.
Next chance for light precipitation Tuesday, with a bigger event possible by the end of the week.

In past weeks Zumbrota has started warm but crashed to cold. This week, however, will swing the opposite way with a gradual warming trend expected through the week!

As the calendar flips to 'Meteorological' Spring the sun angle gets stronger, the days longer, and more rain than snow - at least for the first week of March.

The precipitation chances this week will fall every-other-day, with best chances Monday night, Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday will be the coldest of the three events, with a little snow mixing in early on Wednesday before changing to rain as temperatures rise above freezing.

The Friday event will likely be the heaviest of the three, with the best chance for appreciable rainfall due to a stronger system that will track near or south of the local area.

This week will be the start of an active and wetter-than-average period that will last into mid-March.
