Overview
There is a low pressure system over the Dakotas that will continue to move East, over the upper- Midwest and Great Lakes Region. A ridge of high pressure will build in the wake of this system. A cold front is stretched South, through the Midwest and back into the Central & Southern Plains. This front connects to another, developing low over the pan-handle of Texas with a risk for severe weather in affected areas. A second front is stretched through the NE U.S. and into the Great Lakes region.
Discussion
A low pressure system over North Dakota will continue to move East and out of our viewing area. We will see tapering rain chances tonight with mostly cloudy skies and a cool feel. Tomorrow will start off with temperatures in the 40s and partly to mostly cloudy skies for much of our area. Gradual clearing is expected in the wake of today's low pressure system. Through the rest of Wednesday and most of Thursday, we will be under the influence of a ridge of high pressure.
The end of the work week will bring a change-up. Tomorrow & Thursday, our next low and cold front will begin to develop over the Pacific Northwest & SW Canada. This low will cross the Rockies (over Canada) and move to the East. The associated cold front will move through our area with rising rain chances, late on Thursday. Showers & thunderstorms will become likely Thursday night through Friday morning. In the wake of this system we will see clearing skies and a warming trend through the weekend and into the beginning of the work week.
Headlines during the next couple of days include tapering rain chances and clearing skies as a low pressure system moves out of our area. Sunshine and seasonable conditions will be the theme through Hump-day. Thursday& Friday, showers & thunderstorms will come back into the forecast.
Through the rest of tonight & Wednesday
Tonight we will see continued showers with a few thunderstorms moving through the Dakotas. Around midnight and through the morning hours, expect tapering rain chances. Temps will fall into the 40s with moderate to strong winds out of the North and west that will calm down a bit. Wednesday, winds pick back up with continued clearing skies and temps remain in a seasonable range. Rain chances will end as skies clear out and temps will start to climb with more sunshine.
