...SHOWERS AND STORMS LIKELY TONIGHT...
.DISCUSSION...A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH EASTWARD ACROSS THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...FIRING A
LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS IT DOES. THE FRONT WILL MOVE
EAST AND SOUTH BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...WEAKENING AS IT DOES.
SCATTERED PRECIPITATION WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF
IT...MOSTLY FROM SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN INTO EASTERN IOWA. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...AND
SHOULD KEEP MOST OF THE REGION UNDER DRY CONDITIONS INTO FRIDAY.
HOWEVER...A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS
CENTRAL MINNESOTA LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. ANOTHER FRONTAL
BOUNDARY THEN LOOKS TO DRAPE ITSELF WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE REGION
FOR THE WEEKEND...AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. IT WILL LIKELY SERVE AS THE
FOCUS FOR SOME SCATTERED PRECIPITATION. AS FOR WINDS...GUSTY AND
BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE...DIMINISHING AND SWINGING FROM
THE SOUTH TO THE WEST LATER TONIGHT AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH.
