DISCUSSION

Our next trough is currently located over Southern Canadian Plains. This trough slides east into the Great Lakes region by Monday afternoon. In the meantime, a quiet night is anticipated with temperatures falling into the mid 30s to low 40s. As the aforementioned trough moves into the Great Lakes, a cold front sags southeast into the area. Ahead of the front, southwest winds and sunny skies help to produce a very mild afternoon. Widespread 60s and even a few 70s are likely. Other than passing clouds, this initial front is forecast to remain dry. Even though surface high pressure settles into the region by Tuesday afternoon, only a minor temperature decrease is expected.

The next trough quickly digs southeast into the Central Plains and phases with another trough over the Great Lakes. With limited moisture to work with, this next system will be largely dry, though a low chance of showers over western Iowa remains possible Wednesday morning. Cooler temperatures then fill in behind this second cold front associated with this system. High temperatures begin to fall into the 50s on Wednesday with highs in the 40s returning Thursday. At the same time, low temperatures fall into the 30s. By Friday morning, a strong surface high pressure settles into the area. Calm winds and clear skies are poised to help temperatures fall below freezing across the area Friday morning. Widespread upper 20s and low 30s appears likely for all.

By next weekend, temperatures begin to climb again as upper- level ridging builds over the Central Plains. High temperatures in the 50s return on Saturday and 60s by Sunday. It remains dry through next weekend with our next shot of rain not appearing until sometime during the following week.
