Weekend Thunderstorms Possible and...Snow?
Rosemount could be in for a wild weekend that could combine a weird mix of winter, spring, and summer — all in the same three day period. Just in time for National Severe Weather Awareness Week.
The National Weather Service in Chanhassen has sent out a hazardous weather alert as a strong low pressure system sweeps through south and central Minnesota — bringing with it high winds and the possibility of severe thunderstorms and late-coming snow.
At present, there is a wind advisory across much of the south-central region, but Rosemount will likely bear the brunt of the system on Saturday afternoon, when there is an 80 percent chance of a severe thunderstorm. Sunday is no better, with a 70 percent chance of storms. The onslaught will continue on Monday, when forecasters predict snow.
The most severe weather is expected along the Minnesota-Iowa border. Residents are advised that this system could be capable of producing a tornado.
