WEATHER SUMMARY FOR MINNESOTA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
330 AM CDT THU MAY 23 2013

MUCH DRIER WEATHER WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE TODAY AND
MANY LOCATIONS THAT HAVE NOT SEEN MUCH OF THE SUN FOR THE PAST WEEK
WILL FINALLY DO SO. IN FACT...MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE STATE
HAS OBSERVED MEASURABLE RAINFALL SEVEN DAYS IN A ROW THIS PAST WEEK.
A BREEZY NORTHEAST WIND TODAY SHOULD KEEP THE STATE COOLER THAN
NORMAL WITH WIDESPREAD 60S FOR HIGHS EVERYWHERE BUT THE
ARROWHEAD...WHERE IT WILL REMAIN IN THE 50S.

AFTER A COOL DAY TODAY...A CHILLY NIGHT IS STORE FOR MINNESOTA UNDER
LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES. FROST IS POSSIBLE IN THE NORTHEAST AND
EAST CENTRAL AS TEMPERATURES FALL INTO THE UPPER 20S AND LOWER 30S
FOR LOWS TONIGHT. ANOTHER MAINLY DRY AND SLIGHTLY WARMER DAY IS
EXPECTED FRIDAY WITH A FEW MORE CLOUDS FILLING THE SKY. THE CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS INCREASES ACROSS WESTERN MINNESOTA FRIDAY
AFTERNOON WITH THE STORMS GRADUALLY SHIFTING EAST FRIDAY NIGHT.

OVERALL...THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY
REMAIN IN AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO
NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...AREAS JUST WEST AND SOUTH OF MINNESOTA LOOK TO
BE MUCH STORMY THAN WHAT IS EXPECTED LOCALLY. NONETHELESS...THERE
WILL BE A FEW CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING THIS
FRIDAY.
