AND WILL EXPIRE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WITH THE MORNING ZONE ISSUANCE.

RAIN WILL SLOWLY END FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST TODAY AS THE LOW
AND FRONT CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH AND HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD
INTO THE REGION. HAVE FOLLOWED MOS GUIDANCE CLOSELY TODAY...WITH
LITTLE IF ANY DIURNAL RECOVERY TO TEMPERATURES.

HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES CENTERED ACROSS THE CWA BY 12Z SATURDAY.
CURRENT TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING UNDER THE SURFACE HIGH. IF
WE HADNT JUST HAD 3 TO 6 INCHES OF RAINFALL ACROSS THE CWA I WOULD
PROBABLY BE ISSUING A FROST ADVISORY FOR TONIGHT...BUT SATURATED
GROUND AND MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER WILL ACT TO MODIFY THE AIR MASS.
THIS WILL KEEP FROST PATCHY AT BEST AND PROBABLY CONFINED TO JUST
OUR FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES WHICH DID NOT RECEIVE MUCH RAINFALL. I
WILL LET THE DAYSHIFT DETERMINE THE NEED FOR A FROST ADVISORY ACROSS
THE NORTH...AND ONLY INCLUDE PATCHY FROST FOR THOSE COUNTIES FOR NOW.

NEXT COLD FRONT DIVING SOUTH ACROSS MONTANA WILL MARCH ACROSS
MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS ON SATURDAY WITH A WIND SHIFT TO THE
NORTHWEST. BRIEF SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT MAY BE ENOUGH TO
PUSH TEMPERATURES INTO THE 60S BEFORE FROPA. EXPECT A DRY FRONTAL
PASSAGE.

LOW TEMPERATURES SUNDAY MORNING WILL CERTAINLY FLIRT WITH THE
FREEZING MARK ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA...AND THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL
FOR FROST OR EVEN FREEZING CONDITIONS. FOR NOW...SURFACE HIGH IS
FORECAST TO BE CENTERED ACROSS WESTERN IOWA WHICH WOULD KEEP WIND AT
OR ABOVE 5KTS...LIMITING FROST POTENTIAL. IF THE HIGH WERE TO MOVE
FURTHER SOUTHEAST AND BECOME ANCHORED ACROSS MISSOURI AT 12Z...FROST
AND FREEZE ADVISORIES/WARNINGS WOULD BE NEEDED FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING.

SIDED WITH COLDER MET GUIDANCE FOR SUNDAY AS COLD START AND
INCREASING CLOUD COVER IN THE AFTERNOON SHOULD LIMIT DIURNAL
TEMPERATURE INCREASE. WARM ADVECTION REGIME SETS UP SUNDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH MONDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONT...WITH THE POTENTIAL OF RAIN
INCREASING AS WE HEAD INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. THE COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CWA MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH DRY
CONDITIONS RETURNING MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.

LOOKING TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...GIVEN THE FACT IT HAS
RAINED THE PAST 3 THURSDAYS...PERIODICITY ALONE WOULD SUGGEST THE
LATEST GFS SOLUTION MAY BE CORRECT WITH ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM TAKING
AIM ON THE REGION NEXT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
