Some days I want to hurl my laptop into the nearest lake. I feel like a beleaguered fortune-teller, a palm reader with a bad attitude. "No, I do NOT want to say that in public." I'd rather talk about the Twins.
Last weekend was legendary; the very definition of weather bliss. But the European model (ECMWF) is hinting at a rain-snow mix on Saturday with a potential for slush. Keep in mind a trace of snow falls during an average May in the Twin Cities, based on the latest 30-year climate record. There's a statistic you won't hear from the local Chamber of Commerce. With any luck, slushy snow won't materialize.
In the meantime, expect 70s today with a few passing showers tonight and early Thursday. Friday will be dry, but the upcoming weekend will leave much to be desired with a cold rain (laced with snow?) Saturday, and another wave of showers on Sunday. A good weekend for spring cleaning (or maybe Netflix).
If this keeps up, the seven-day forecast may get a rating: "PG" for pretty grim, or "R" for … really?
