358 AM CDT SAT JUN 15 2013

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE COMMON ACROSS MUCH OF WISCONSIN...
IOWA AND SOUTHERN MINNESOTA DURING THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
HOURS. MOST OF THE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS AND THOSE THAT PRODUCED
HEAVY RAIN OCCURRED OVER SOUTHERN IOWA. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE
REGION EARLY THIS MORNING RANGED FROM SOME 50S NEAR LAKES MICHIGAN
AND SUPERIOR...TO THE MID AND UPPER 60S OVER MUCH OF IOWA.

THIS AFTERNOON AND AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE LIFTS OUT OF
NEBRASKA...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE REGION. A FEW OF
THESE COULD BE SEVERE ACROSS EASTERN IOWA AND NEARBY AREAS THIS
AFTERNOON...ALONG WITH PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS. FLASH FLOOD
WATCHES REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL INTO NORTHEAST IOWA AND
FAR SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA THROUGH TODAY. HIGHS OVER MOST OF THE UPPER
MIDWEST TODAY ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 75 TO 85.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF
THE REGION THIS EVENING. DRIER HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT
WILL THEN SPREAD SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION FOR LATER TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY. CLOUDS ARE GOING TO DECREASE OVER ALL BUT THE SOUTHEAST END
OF THE REGION LATER TONIGHT. LOOK FOR LOWS TO RANGE FROM 50 TO 55
OVER MUCH OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA TO THE MID 60S IN SOUTHERN IOWA AND
