FOR THE DAY TODAY, EXPECT GENERALLY QUIET CONDITIONS AND MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES OTHER THAN SOME INCOMING HIGH CLOUDS. BREEZY
SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN THE WEST AS A CLIPPER SYSTEM
SLIDES WEST TO EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND TIGHTENS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT. A LITTLE LIGHT PRECIPITATION, MOSTLY IN THE
FORM OF RAIN, THOUGH POSSIBLY WITH SOME SNOW MIXED IN, MAY OCCUR
THIS EVENING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH
THE CLIPPER. THURSDAY WILL SEE DRY AND BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA. HOWEVER, ANOTHER AROUND OF LIGHT RAIN, POSSIBLY WITH SOME
SNOW MIXED IN, MAY OCCUR THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY AS THE
AFOREMENTIONED CLIPPER DIVES SOUTHEAST THROUGH MINNESOTA. MOSTLY
DRY WEATHER IS THEN FAVORED THIS WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THAT SAID, SHORTWAVE ENERGY MAY PRODUCE A ROUND OF LIGHT
PRECIPITATION AT SOME POINT DURING THE WEEKEND.
HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY AND THURSDAY WILL BE MOSTLY IN THE UPPER
40S TO LOW 50S. BELOW AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 30S
TO LOW 40S ARE THEN ON TAP FOR HALLOWEEN BEFORE A WARMING TREND
THIS WEEKEND. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT ARE FORECAST TO DROP
MOSTLY INTO THE LOW 30S. BY FRIDAY NIGHT, LOWS SHOULD DROP INTO
THE 20S ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE, IF NOT EVEN COLDER IN SOME
LOCATIONS.
