Late April snow?

At least three of the major overnight models runs going into Thursday were indicating snow chances for Saturday morning.  With Get in Gear festivities going on this Saturday at Minnehaha Park, some have been wondering what the weather conditions will be like at race time.

GFS:

Why snow?  While temperatures will be above freezing at the surface, freezing temperatures will be found aloft, not allowing the snow to melt into rain.

I’m expecting any accumulations to be light.  Less than an inch in areas.  For snow lovers, this may be your last hurrah for the snow season.
