Looking Ahead

The weekend is a little questionable and this time. Some are saying it will be sunny while another run may be hinting and much rainier and cooler weekend. Then the long range charts are really hinting a much cooler times ahead for the end of this month. Early next week as that system moves away, a very chilly airmass races southward on Monday the 17th. Frost.freeze chances look like a sure bet across much of the state, especially north of our area. It warms up and dries out for the end of that week, Thursday to Friday. Then Saturday the 22nd a low pressure system racing out of Iowa spreads widespread showers and rain to much of the Upper Midwest. Heavy amounts may be a possibility. Another system follows that one right behind it and brings another shot of rain for Monday. It looks cool and sunny behind this feature.
