Severe weather chances for today are very low....Short wave now pushing through Central MN is kicking off a line of showers and thunderstorms..Some of these storms have been on the strong side...With some hail reports and some gusty winds...This activity should weaken some by time it reaches Western and Northwestern WI....Still some of the stronger thunderstorms may produce some hail and gusty winds this morning,along with areas picking up from 1/4 to around 3/4 inches of rain...Bad news is with rain falling that hard most of it will run off and won't do us to much good..Everyone won't see that kind of rainfall though....This morning's trough kicks out of the area...Another one right on it's heels for later today into tonight...Severe weather threat looks to remain well to the Southwest of the area into Southwestern MN..In Southwest MN good dynamics are in place for severe thunderstorms later this afternoon into this evening....Across Western WI and Northwestern WI...Dynamics won't be as strong...However might still see a strong storm or two rumble through the area...Some of the stronger storms will be capable of producing small hail and gusty winds,along with areas of brief heavy rain,again not all areas will be lucky enough to see the heavy rain...What we need is an all day and all night slow soaker...
Side note which I should have said earlier...The storms in MN as they push towards Western/Northwestern WI have been on the weaken trend over the last hour or so as they move into drier air..Thinking is this will be the trend through out the morning hours.
