It's been nearly a month since the last generous rainfall soaked the Twin Cities Metro area. This afternoon we find ourselves positioned close enough to a warm front that bouts of showers and thunderstorms my present opportunities for welcome rain.
The Storm Prediction Center short term computer models indicate the risk for some strong thunderstorms, with hail and gusty winds as well. Weather Watches may be expanded and extended in Minnesota and western Wisconsin as the daytime heating continues to the south of the front.
A cool front remains on track to sweep across the state on Friday afternoon and night. Once again the prospects for severe weather will loom large. Comfortable weather looks to be on tap for Saturday afternoon through Sunday.
