..Synopsis

Northwest flow prevails aloft this afternoon into the overnight hours ahead of a weak H5 shortwave. Upper flow briefly becomes westerly as the trough moves across the area late Tuesday into early Wednesday. A low chance for light rain will accompany the trough, with the best chances for measurable precipitation remaining primarily south of Highway 2. The probability for 0.1 inch of rain is holding steady at about 30 percent in west central Minnesota, with lower chances elsewhere.

Much cooler air filters into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest as the trough slides eastward and northerly H5 flow develops. Today's high temperatures will reach the upper 50s to near 60 degrees; however, temps begin a downward trend heading into Tuesday as cloud cover overspreads the area and light rain moves across the southern half of the forecast area. Highs on Tuesday are expected to reach the upper 40s to low 50s. Temps fall to near normal heading into the Wednesday through Friday period, with highs in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees, and overnight lows in the 20s.
