Forecast...

Forecast not really to bad...Problem is when to clear the precip from the area,and time the CDFNT passage....

CURRENT CONDITIONS.....

This morning temps are Starting of in the upper 40s North.lower 50s Central,To as warm as the middle 50s South...For the most part DWPNTS are in the upper 40s...This has lead to the DVLPMT of PTCHY fog through out the entire FA..Some of the fog has been DNS is a few areas...Also some light DRZL through out the area..Some returns still showing up on the radar this morning from ST.Croix through Pierce and Pepin and into Buffalo Counties..Then another area of returns from points South of the city of EAU...

SFC ANALYSIS....

SFC charts show a 1008 MB low pressure over far North Central ND with a CDFNT reach from low into Western MN than down through Northeast NE through Northwest KS to a 1003 Low pressure over Southwest KS...1030 MB high pressure building into Central MT..Meantime a ridge of high pressure is ruling the New England States....

TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT...

Off and on rain showers/ISO thunderstorms through late morning before the CDFNT passes through...Winds will be rather gusty from the W/SW after said front sails through...Winds look to be on the order from 10 to 15 MPH today..Highs today should range from the upper 50 North to around 60 - 63 Central and South...Tonight will still run with cloudy skies as the low pressure over ND now is forecasted to move into Northeast MN..CDFNT will have already pushed through my FA so I have decided not to run with rain chances if the North or Central areas,still will keep a very small chance going in my far Southern Counties...Lows tonight upper 30s to around 40 seem the way to run as CAA will be well under way across the areas....

FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.....

Temps will be cooler tomorrow as CAA still in full force....Temps range from the lower 50 North,middle 50s Central,last but not least upper 50s South...Will keep a small chance of INSTBY showers in my Central and Northern areas as this is where the cold air sets up in the upper levels Won't take much SFC heating to kick up some showers Lapse rates still rather strong..I don't think any thunderstorms will get going as LIS are not that good...Will run with PTLY CLDY Skies in my Southern areas..
Lows on Friday range from the lower 30s North, middle 30s Central and Southern areas...Saturday will still run with a small chance of INSTBY SHWRS in my Northern and Central areas as cold doom still in place in them areas...Will go with MST sunny to PTLY CLDY skies in the South....Highs on Saturday Middle 50s North.upper 50s Central,Lower 60s South....Low range from Lower 30s to the middle 30s...

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.....

Nice dry period on tap as high pressure takes control of our weather...Temps in the 60s through out the whole FA....
