Severe weather chances along with more heavy rainfall...

Warm today through the weekend, with the severe thunderstorm chances returning to the FA...


Not a lot to talk about for today, what you see is what you get...There may be a shower or thunderstorm up in the far Northern areas of the FA.... Highs today should be in the upper 70s to lower 80s with lower dewpoints so won't be as humid..

Time to talk about the severe weather chances...
Like always this spring/early summer a few things will make it or break...
First off a warm front shall try to work North in Southern MN Friday... How far this warm front can make it North along with a few other factors.... As it looks right now MCS should form over ND/MN and push into the FA on Friday night... This should bring heavy rainfall back into the area.... The threat for large hail and damaging winds seem to be the main players... Saturday still up in the air for severe weather chances.... Will depend how fast the morning's thunderstorm complexes move out, and if we can get enough daytime SFC heating.... Looks like more night time thunderstorms will be likely, some which could be severe ahead of a cold front that is forecasted to work its way through the area...Temps will be tricky they will depend on cloud cover along with how far the North the warm front makes it..... 80s North of the front, with upper 80s to lower 90s South of the frontal boundary.... Will have a better handle on this tomorrow..
