Forecast for parts of MN and WI

Lots to talk about today so lets get right to it..Forecast problems showers and thunderstorms through Tuesday then colder temps for the rest of the upcoming work week..Also a chance at some snowflakes in Northern parts of our MN FA.
Current Conditions.
At this hour temps are ranging from the middle to upper 40s across our MN FA,while in our WI zones temps are in the lower to middle 50s...Skies over our MN FA are mostly cloudy,while over in our WI areas skies are partly cloudy to clear.Satellite confirms this...Radar showing an area of showers over Koochiching and the Eastern part of Beltrami Counties of MN,this area of showers is moving Northeast...Another area of showers showing up over parts of Eastern Price and Iron Counties of WI,this area of showers is moving East,slightly Northeast....
Today through Tuesday.
SFC analysis shows a warm front that has pretty much clear our WI FA..This front reaches from far Northwestern WI back down into Central MN towards a low pressure over Southeast SD...Said warm front is forecasted to keep pushing North this will ensure more rain fall for our MN FA today and tonight...Some of the rain could become heavy once again...While our WI areas should see warmer temps under partly cloudy skies temps should hit into the 70s.....Warm front becomes a strong cold front and will start to work it's way East tomorrow through Monday...As it does more moisture will work it's way into the system,also a low pressure will move Northeast out of CO...What is also interesting is moisture from Norbert will also get tangled into this system...Heavy rainfall will be a good possibility Monday through Monday night as the cold front slams into the area...As of right now I don't have heavy rain wording in the forecast,however do have plenty of time to add it in....Tuesday cold front still close enough to keep a few showers alive through out the FA.....Also some snow could be possible over Northern parts of our MN FA on Tuesday....
Wednesday through Friday.
Colder temps will be the rule for this time frame...Wednesday should yield mostly sunny skies as a high pressure builds into the area,this will be short lived as computer models showing another system set to move into area for Thursday/Friday's time frame....
So to sum it all up.....
Temps will be warmer than yesterday in rain free areas....Heavy rainfall is possible Monday and Monday night....Then much colder temps on tap for the middle to the end of the work week...With another shot at rain Thursday/Friday's time frame.
