DISCUSSION
DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 60S ARE LINGERING INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON,
BUT THERE IS A DROP IN DEWPOINTS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT DOWN TO THE
LOW TO MID 50S THAT WILL LEAD TO A DROP IN RH WHERE THERE IS NO
PRECIPITATION. STORMS ARE STARTING TO DEVELOP IN A LINE FROM THE
NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST IN NORTHWEST ITASCA COUNTY AND WILL SLOWLY
MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CURRENT TRACK
OF THE LINE OF STORMS ALONG THE COLD FRONT SUGGEST STORMS
REACHING THE SITE NEAR 6 PM, BUT A POP UP STORM OR TWO AHEAD OF
THE LINE IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AS EARLY AS 4 PM. SOUTHERLY TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL QUICKLY TURN WEST TO NORTHWEST WITH THE COLD
FRONT AS WELL. ONLY UP TO A TENTH OF RAINFALL IS EXPECTED
