.DISCUSSION...
Warm and dry conditions expected today as an upper ridge moves
across the region. As the ridge breaks down on Wednesday, a cold
front moving across the region will trigger strong to severe
thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening. High confidence
(70-90%) exists for wetting rains with this event, especially near
the North Dakota border where the strongest storms are expected.
Cool and wet conditions linger into Thursday. Then a dry warming
trend is expected into the weekend.
