Rain,snow,cold,warm it's all here

Much needed rain to fall over parts of the FA,while others see a trace...Then snow possible for Sun night into Monday...Than a big warm up for midweek through the upcoming weekend with showers and storms on tap for the upcoming weekend....

CURRENT CONDITIONS......

Temps in WI starting out rather warm middle 40s to upper 40s despite a cold front that pushed through...Main CAA still in my MN areas,where we find temps into middle 30s ....Eastern parts of the MN FA temps lower to middle 40..Winds this morning are from the N/NW around 5-10 MPH....Most areas are now cloudy per satellite....

SFC ANALYSIS.....

Cold front that pushed through yesterday still sitting just South of my WI zones...Large area of high pressure covers the Eastern part of the Country...We do find an area of low pressure over the TX panhandle this morning...Another large are of high pressure over the Western States.....

TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY....

Cold front just South of the FA this morning as allowed winds to be North/Northwest...This will keep temps held in the 50s and 60s today...Meanwhile a 1001 Low pressure over TX is forecasted to lift into the OH/TN Valleys through out this time frame...This will cause moisture to over ride the cold front and produce showers...Have kept the best chance in my Southern areas of MN,and WI...These areas may pick up close to 1/4 inch of rainfall tonight through Sun....Sun night a shot of colder air is forecasted to move through the area..This should mix the rain with snow showers across all of the FA. Or Eastern areas of MN and all of my WI zones may pick up a few inches of snow..This will last into Mon before changing back to light rain Mon afternoon.....Tue should be a nicer day with the system pulling of to the East and high pressure building into the area...Temps should warm into the middle 50s once again....

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY....

For the most part this period should be dry and warming temps,back close to if not into the lower 70s by weeks end....Did add some small rain chances for the WAA kicking in....

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.....

By the weekend went with showers and thunderstorms as an area of low pressure lifts Northeast into Western parts of MN..More humid air,and moisture will move into the area ahead of this system....Sun... a cold front is forecasted to move through...Temps will be falling once again to end the weekend and to start the new work week
