SKIES CLEARED NICELY AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGAN TO BUILD OVER THE

RELATIVELY LIGHT...AND EARLY MORNING TEMPERATURES RANGED IN THE
UPPER 40S NORTH TO THE LOWER 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST.

A SOUTHERLY WIND WILL DEVELOP ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE HIGH.  WARMER
AIR...ALONG WITH INCREASING MOISTURE SHOULD LIFT SLOWLY NORTH AND
EAST OVER THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE STATE.  THIS WILL GENERATE
A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPING OVER THE

STATE SHOULD REMAIN DRY...WITH A FEW CLOUDS. LOWS TONIGHT ARE
EXPECTED TO RANGE IN THE MID 40S NORTHEAST TO THE LOW 60S
SOUTHWEST.

A WARM FRONT WILL ADVANCE EAST OVER THE DAKOTAS ON FRIDAY.  THIS

THUNDERSTORMS TO THE STATE. HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S CAN BE
EXPECTED...WITH UPPER 60S NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR.

THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE STATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
