KEY MESSAGES

- Isolated weak showers and thunderstorms today.

- Cooler over the next weak with periodic chances for showers.

..Synopsis

Upper low across central Canada will remain in place through at least the next week. Ensemble guidance in good agreement leading to higher confidence with the overall synoptic pattern. The main uncertainty will be the individual shortwaves rounding the main upper low that will lead to shower chances across our region. All in all anticipate period shower chances and cooler temperatures. Impacts should be minimal given lack of instability. There could be a few sneaky marginal severe days (especially for hail given the lower freezing levels) if evapotranspiration from crops provides additional boundary layer moisture.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/

Issued at 627 PM CDT Fri Jun 12 2026

VFR conditions with some mid level cumulus across the area. A few showers moving through produced some light rain earlier, but at this point look to remain north and east of the TAF sites. MVFR ceilings start to come down later tonight into tomorrow morning as cooler air sags in from Canada. Showers look scattered enough to not include at this point. Some of the TAF sites should improve to VFR by the end of the period, but the MN airports could stay MVFR for much of the day. Winds that are gusting above 30 kts in the Red River Valley should decrease in the next hour or so. Northwest winds picking up again during the day tomorrow with gusts up to the 25 to 30 kt range again.
