During the next twenty-four hours nature will play out a very similar scenario as we viewed from the weather lab last Friday. A low pressure system will travel from far northwest Missouri to western Wisconsin. Minnesotans are in the path of some soggy weather.

Milder temperatures in southeast Minnesota may spawn thunderstorms that could become severe. Meanwhile, on the colder, northwest, side of the path of the low, a cold wind driven rain is likely from Willmar to Long Prairie to Milaca. Rain may mix with snow after dark.

Since the weather is trending more spring like, with the increasing potential for severe weather you may wish to bookmark the website to monitor the storm threat from the Storm Prediction Center.

We look to salvage a rather decent Sunday as the storm system pulls off to our east.
