WEATHER SUMMARY FOR UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
330 PM CDT TUE MAY 21 2013

TEMPERATURES HAVE REMAINED LOWER THAN EXPECTED TUESDAY WITH HIGHS SO
FAR ONLY REACHING THE LOW TO MID 60S ACROSS THE REGION. THIS IS IN
PART DUE TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ALONG WITH THE NEARLY STATIONARY LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM SITTING OVER EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND SOUTHWEST
MINNESOTA. WINDS ARE MAINLY OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AT 15 TO 20 MPH.
SCATTERED SHOWERS WERE LIFTING THROUGH PARTS OF NORTHWEST
WISCONSIN...INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA.

FOR TONIGHT...AS THIS SYSTEM SLOWLY MAKES ITS WAY EASTWARD...EXPECT A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES
WILL FALL INTO THE LOW TO MID 50S AS WINDS SHIFT AROUND TO THE
NORTHWEST.

FOR TOMORROW...A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS IS IN THE FORECAST...BUT A
COMPLETE WASH OUT IS NOT ANTICIPATED. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL SLOWLY DRIFT OVERHEAD...WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY TO CLOUDY SKIES
PREVAILING. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUT OF THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST
ACROSS THE REGION...AT AROUND 5 MPH. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
TO RISE INTO THE UPPER 50S AND LOW 60S ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
