DISCUSSION
EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THIS MORNING WITH A FEW LINGERING
SHOWERS POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL
MINNESOTA. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
REDEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SURFACE COLD
FRONT...WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION MAINLY
SOUTH AND EAST OF A LINE FROM WAHPETON TO BEMIDJI.
TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY...CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. EXPECT DRIER AND
COOLER CONDITIONS MUCH OF THE DAY FRIDAY WITH NORTHWEST WINDS
GUSTING TO NEAR 20 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON. POOR VENTILATION RATES IN
THE MORNINGS WILL GIVE WAY TO GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITIONS EACH
AFTERNOON.
