Winter Weather Advisory

Monday, June 11, 2012

Pleasently cool to start off the week, then slight chance of rain Thursday before increasing it turns hot again in the 90s by Friday.

Regional Weather view.

A cool airmass behind a cold front that has swept through the region will keep a pleasantly cool and dry airmass in place for a couple days, but not for long, by Thursday a warm front will pushed towards the region sparking thunderstorms chances mainly in Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota and Wisconsin. It will bring widespread heat in the 90s again to much of the region.

Local and Metro views.

Locally we can expect that the next couple of days will be dry, sunny and pleasantly cool compared to the last 3 days. Tuesday will be sunny and quite nice with highs in the lower 70s and lows dipping into the 40s. Wednesday will we will have increasing clouds with highs in the middle 70s and lows in the lower 50s. Thursday will bring our only shot at rain and unfortunate it looks quite slim. Thunderstorms could develop on the warm front, but it does not look like everyone will see rain and rainfall amounts will be light. Friday the warm front will have passed and we will be back into a hot, sunny and dry airmass. Friday under sunny skies and breezy south winds. Highs will reach the upper 80s to lower 90s. Winds could gust to 30MPH Friday.

Looking Ahead

The weekend right now looks to be hot, humid and stormy. The models show a chance at storms both Saturday and Sunday, but Sunday looks the like the best chance. Heavy rain is possible in central Minnesota north of our area. The models then dries things out but keeps us hot and humid through Tuesday of next week. Many days could be 90 to 95 degrees with sunshine. Wednesday the 20th a frontal system pushes in and brings us a threat for thunderstorms with heavy rainfall, which may have to be watched for the threat of becoming severe. The model cools us down slightly for the weekend of the 23rd and turns things dry before more heat and humid push in from the west by months end. More on this later.
