Heavy rainfall hits Northern through central Barron County...As you can see from one our Weather Center's radar..Storm total accumulated precipitation radar views shows any where from 1.00 to as much as 1.50 inches of rain as fallen this early morning.Here at the Weather Center we picked up 1.45 inches of rain so far(see times on radar grab)...More heavy rain fall is in the forecast as a cold front works it's way towards and through the my forecast area through early this evening,some areas could pick up another inch of rainfall...Severe weather is unlikely do to the cloud cover hanging overhead..If we can break out into some sunshine before this late afternoon,this would allow for instby to increase,wind shear is rather strong..So if good SFC heating can get going there would be a slight chance the some thunderstorms could become severe..However as of right now this does look very slim...We will keep an eye on satellite trends,along with SFC OBS....One thing does look like a very good bet would be more heavy rainfall....Temps today will be kept in checked with all the clouds around...Still humid today though....Stay tuned for more updates on severe thunderstorms chances as we head for the late afternoon hrs...
