Shortwave that brought the area much needed rain yesterday/last night is long gone...However today also looks to be rather wet and damp as another shortwave and cold front marches through the area...Temps won't be in a hurry to go up today with clouds and rain...Temps tonight may pose a problem...After today the weather becomes rather dull...More on all this after we look at the currents...
Current Conditions.
Under mainly cloudy skies temps are in the lower to middle 50s some breaks in the clouds are noted over parts of MN,and WI....Radar is showing showers in the following Counties of our MN FA.....Cass,Hubbard,Beltrami,Itasca,Koochiching,St.Louis,and Lake.....These showers are moving South/Southeast....
Today.
WV Satellite showing a nice shortwave now digging into Eastern SD/Western WI..The remains of Ike spinning over Southern MO..This will has brought rain as far North as far Southern WI..This system should not effect the FA as it is moving off to the East/slightly Northeast along a frontal boundary that moved through the area.....Shortwave is forecasted to keep moving East Southeast as the day wears on,also a cold front is forecasted to move into and through the area today and this evening....In fact this front is already pushing into our far Western FA of MN....After front sails through this areas rain will be ending and skies could become partly cloudy in said area later this afternoon...Rest of the FA will be locked under clouds and showers today...Might see one or two thunderstorms thrown into the mix,mainly over our Southern areas...
Tonight.
Skies become partly cloudy to mostly clear.Winds will lax up this could set the stage for some patchy frost in our colder areas of MN,and WI...As of now I did not add that into the forecast,however I may very well add it in sometime this afternoon..Will watch to see how fast rain and then clouds start to scour out...
Monday through Friday.
Well not a lot to talk about in this FA period..High pressure will build into the area and camp out for the rest of the work week..This will ensure us of dry weather and temps in the 60s to lower 70s...Few systems may try to smack the area,however we should just see high clouds not much more from time to time.....
Again have plan be ready to go today..Good day to have the kids help with house work..Good luck with that..
