Regional Weather Map

The weather story is currently focused on the Midwest as a severe weather outbreak is likely, with the potential for heavy rainfall over a large area. Passing low pressure systems along a meandering front will produced bouts of showers and thunderstorms, especially in Minnesota and Wisconsin over the next few days. Every day there could be a threat of severe storms with this with the heightened risk of damaging wind, hail and tornado’s especially in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Local and Metro views.

I will get right to the topic at hand. A very wet, stormy warm and humid week is ahead. The focus for these storms will be a frontal system which will get near the area and stall out. This will be the focus and produce waves of thunderstorms with more then one severe weather threat. Tuesday severe weather threat will be mainly an evening/after dark threat. Before the storms each day it will be a warm and humid. It will actually feel quite sticky as dewpoints rise into the 60s and stay there much of the week, highs each day will be in the 70s to 80 with lows in the 60s. Tuesday Thunderstorms will develop first in Western Minnesota and move east, they will likely be here after 6pm. What is left of those storms could be severe and heavy and have heavy rain. Wednesday could be have the highest severe weather threat. Thunderstorms will develop along the stalled out front in the afternoon it is will likely some of these storms become severe, although with this there is the potential for have torrential rainfall, Temp wise highs in the 80s and lows in the mid 60s which will future fuel storms. Thursday and Friday will both be warm and humid with highs in the upper 70s and lows in the 60s, with a threat for thunderstorms both days. It is too early to determine the severe weather threats, but it is certainly a possibility.

Tuesday Night and Wednesday evening severe weather threat!

Tuesdays Threat: thunderstorms will form along a cold front first in western Minnesota and move east across Minnesota, reaching the local area around or after dark, what is left of the storms there will impact the local area, Damaging winds and large hail will be the main threats in our area. Wednesday threat: A frontal system will be near if not directly over the area which is prime for thunderstorm development,  thunderstorms will develop along this front in the afternoon and evening and some will likely be severe. Very Damaging winds, very large hail and tornado’s along with torrential rain over 2+ inches will all be a possibility.  People in the area should take this 2 day severe weather threat seriously and stay closely tuned to weather information over the course of the week.
