Here’s the monthly outlook for February 2021 from the CFS model. Source: https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/
Temperature forecast:
The last 9 forecasts from the CFS model shows a split for northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin, with a few showing above normal temps (orange and red) and a few others, including the last 3 showing below normal temps (blues)
Precipitation forecast:
There is a better signal for precipitation to generally be above normal (green colors) in northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin in February 2021, but as is often the case with monthly outlooks, it all comes down to whether or not the storm track is favorable to bring precipitation to our area.
