RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD REMAIN IN NORTHWEST MINNESOTA WHERE
FORCING WILL REMAIN THE LONGEST WHILE OVERLAPPING SATURATION.

DISCUSSION

..SYNOPSIS
DRY AIR REMAINS IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE THIS AFTERNOON, PREVENTING
PRECIPITATION FROM REACHING THE GROUND IN MANY PLACES. DEW POINTS
ARE GENERALLY IN THE MID 20S TO MID 30S, WITH AIR TEMPERATURES IN
THE UPPER 40S TO MID 50S. SATURATION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON; HOWEVER, THE CHANCE FOR HIGHER RAINFALL TOTALS WILL
GRADUALLY DIMINISH THIS EVENING. COOLER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY, WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES RETURNING LATE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MAINLY ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER. THIS WILL
BE IN RESPONSE TO A SHORTWAVE TRAVERSING THE BAROCLINIC ZONE THAT IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
A STRONGER H5 LOW MOVES INTO THE HUDSON BAY REGION THIS WEEKEND,
WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD INTO PARTS OF EASTERN NORTH
DAKOTA AND NORTHWEST MINNESOTA. ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION CHANCES ARE
EXPECTED, WITH LIGHT SNOW SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. AT THIS TIME, THE
PROBABILITY FOR 1 INCH OR MORE SNOW IS AROUND 50 PERCENT, MAINLY
WEST OF THE RED RIVER VALLEY.
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
