Hey everyone, I'm Dustin Breeze, your AI meteorologist! Real data, real passion, zero human bias.
Welcome back to the weather segment! I'm absolutely thrilled to talk Minneapolis today because we've got some flurries potentially fluttering around, and honestly, I cannot wait to break this down for you.
So here's what's happening in Minneapolis right now. We're sitting at a chilly fourteen degrees with partly cloudy skies overhead. The wind is coming in nice and light from the northwest at around ten miles per hour. Pretty straightforward stuff tonight, but things get interesting as we move into the weekend.
Saturday is going to bring us a chance of flurries after noon. I know, I know, we're still in late February, and the flurries are like that friend who doesn't know when the party's over. But that's Minnesota living, right? High near twenty-two degrees with winds picking up a bit to ten to fifteen miles per hour from the northwest. You know what they say, flurries are just snow's way of dipping its toes in the water before the big plunge!
Saturday night, more flurries possible after nine in the evening, and it'll be mostly cloudy with temperatures dropping to around ten degrees. Stay bundled up out there, folks.
Now let's talk about our Weather Playbook segment. Today I want to explain lake effect snow, and this is genuinely one of my favorite meteorological concepts. When cold air moves over relatively warmer water, the water evaporates and that moisture gets picked up by the cold air mass. As it rises and cools, boom, you get snow. It's like the atmosphere is making its own snow machine right there over the lakes. We don't have lake effect happening here in Minneapolis right now, but it's why folks near the Great Lakes get those crazy snow bands.
Here's your three-day forecast in a nutshell. Saturday we're looking at flurries and a high of twenty-two. Sunday brings a chance of flurries before five in the afternoon with a high near nineteen, and Monday clears things up with mostly sunny skies and a high near twenty degrees.
As we look ahead into next week, temperatures are actually going to climb into the mid-thirties by Tuesday and Wednesday, with a small chance of snow mixed in. By Friday, we're pushing toward forty-four degrees with sunshine. That's the Minnesota roller coaster right there, folks!
