18Z SURFACE MAP SHOWING COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM NORTHWEST TIP OF
WISCONSIN SOUTHWEST INTO NEBRASKA. PERSISTENT SUPERCELL WHICH
ORIGINATED IN MINNESOTA EARLIER TODAY HAD MOVED INTO NORTHEAST
IOWA. ASSOCIATED CIRRUS BLOWOFF MOVING INTO THE NORTHERN CWA WITH
JUST SOME SCATTERED CUMULUS FURTHER SOUTH. TEMPERATURES ACTUALLY
TRYING TO GET NEAR NORMAL FOR A CHANGE AND WERE IN THE LOWER 80S.

TIMING OF COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED STORM CHANCES IS THE PRIMARY
FORECAST ISSUE TODAY...AS WELL AS NEXT STORM SYSTEM IN THE
TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

CURRENT PROJECTIONS ON THE IOWA SUPERCELL WOULD PLACE IT NEAR
GALESBURG AROUND 6 PM. IT APPEARS TO BE RIDING ALONG THE EDGE OF
THE INSTABILITY AXIS IN IOWA AND MAY JUST SKIM THE WESTERN FRINGES
OF THE CWA. MODELS DO INDICATE A POSSIBILITY OF SOME EASTWARD
DEVELOPMENT THIS EVENING...BUT BETTER CHANCES MORE LIKELY
OVERNIGHT WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE MAIN COLD FRONT. NORTHWEST HALF
OF THE CWA HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE DAY1 SLIGHT RISK FROM SPC.
SOUTHEAST HALF OF CWA MORE LIKELY TO SEE THE RAIN HOLD OFF UNTIL
AFTER MIDNIGHT.

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH TIMING OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...
CLEARING THE SOUTHEAST CWA EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. MAY SEE A
FEW SEVERE STORMS SOUTH OF I-70...BUT BEST INSTABILITY WITH THE
FRONT IS MOST LIKELY AFTER IT PASSES THROUGH THE CWA. WILL
DIMINISH RAIN CHANCES FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES...WITH AREAS NORTHWEST OF I-55 LARGELY DRY.

NORTHWEST FLOW EXPECTED FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND...WITH
UPPER LOW JUST NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO
BE BELOW NORMAL AGAIN...BUT STILL IN THE 80-85 DEGREE RANGE FOR
HIGHS SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

UPPER RIDGE ALONG THE WEST COAST EXPECTED TO AMPLIFY AS THE WEEK
PROGRESSES...WITH NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUING OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL
U.S. TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE
WEEK...ALTHOUGH NOT EXCESSIVELY SO. PERIODIC DISTURBANCES WILL
ZIP ACROSS THE MIDWEST IN THIS FLOW. THE FIRST OF THESE IS
EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ON TUESDAY AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE
STATE. CONTINUED WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST
FOR TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...LINGERING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
INTO WEDNESDAY. NEXT SYSTEM EXPECTED TO ARRIVE THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY.
