Severe storms followed my much cooler temps and lower humidities.

A fast look at the forecast….

Today look for skies to become sunny as the clouds slowly break up…..Highs in the middle 80s……Tonight there will be a good chance of showers and thunderstorms, as a strong shortwave and cold front drops through MN into the my FA….Strong to severe thunderstorms are forecasted for the area anytime after 9 PM throughout the overnight hours…..Tomorrow there still could be a few strong to sever thunderstorms reforming, that will remain to been seen all will depend on where the cold front will setup and if the complex of thunderstorms either slow down or speed up the frontal passage…..Won’t worry about that right now….Will see how things come to play out tonight…..

Sick of the high dewpoints and temps in the 80s? will hold on this is about to change! Most of next week look for temps in the upper 70s to lower 80s……In fact the system over ND is going to push all the heat and humidity way South….Yes even most parts of IA will also see cooler temps! That time of year once again, and it couldn’t come fast enough for this forecaster!
