KEY MESSAGES
- The next best chances for rain comes late Saturday night through Sunday, along with Monday night.
- Then mostly dry conditions with low end chances of rain for remainder of next week.
- Temperatures to remain very close to normal values into the middle of next week, then drop below normal late next week.
NEXT WORK WEEK
Upper level Monsoon high pressure over the Four Corners region, along with broad longwave troughing over the Hudson Bay will lead to consistent zonal flow over the region. Waves of energy will ride this flow across southern Canada and into the Upper Midwest. Again, the stationary boundary across IL and IA will be the focus for the the heaviest rain. However, bouts of showers and storms will be possible on Monday night into Tuesday, Thursday night into Friday, and into next week across southern MN as these upper level waves of energy race across the region. Chances decrease the further north you go across the state. Temperatures through the period with remain right around the seasonal average through midweek, becoming slightly below average thereafter.
