WEATHER SUMMARY FOR UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
345 AM CDT FRI MAY 17 2013

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY RUNNING ACROSS IOWA HELPED TO DEVELOP
THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT ALONG THE MINNESOTA AND IOWA BORDER REGION.
THE STORMS BROUGHT ANYWHERE FROM A TENTH UP TO JUST OVER AN INCH OF
RAINFALL. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 50S AND 60S.

EXPECT SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA TODAY AS THE FRONT SLOWLY MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE REGION.
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL BETWEEN A QUARTER AND A HALF INCH IS EXPECTED...
WITH SOME SPOTS PICKING UP AROUND AN INCH. WHERE THE RAIN LINGERS
LONGEST...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN WISCONSIN...TEMPERATURES WILL
TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. BUT WHERE THE RAIN CLEARS
OUT...ACROSS IOWA AND SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM
INTO THE LOWER 80S.

THE RAIN THREAT WILL SHIFT NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 94 FOR TONIGHT
INTO SATURDAY...AND SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BRING WARMER AIR INTO THE
TRI-STATE REGION. HIGHS SHOULD BE IN THE 80S FOR MOST AREAS...
EXCEPT OVER NORTHERN AND EASTERN WISCONSIN WHERE SOME CLOUDS LOOK TO
LINGER. HIGHS THERE WILL REMAIN IN THE 70S.

LOOKING AHEAD...A SLOW-MOVING WEATHER SYSTEM WILL TAKE UP RESIDENCE
OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST FROM SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...KEEPING RAIN
CHANCES IN THE FORECAST THROUGH MID-WEEK.
