.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 252 PM CDT Sat Jul 23 2022

KEY MESSAGES:

- There is no longer a threat for severe thunderstorms this evening
  and overnight.

Slow moving clusters of storms have moved across much of Minnesota
and Wisconsin today turning over much of the environment. Some
additional showers and thunderstorms will continue to occur as the
forcing along the warm front and LLJ kick up this evening into
tonight. The best location for additional thunderstorms would be
down in far southern Minnesota along I-90. As the clusters of storms
played out today each run of high resolution guidance has moved
farther and farther south as more observations from today gets
assimilated into the models. Until the cold front passes through this
evening into tonight from north to south chances will continue for
showers and thunderstorms. As always thunderstorm rainfall varies
significantly over short distances. As we have started to see
clearing move into western Minnesota as the morning and afternoon
storms come to an end recover of the atmosphere remains possible and
a round two of storms could occur ahead of the cold front.

Behind the cold front tomorrow will be cooler and drier with highs in
the mid to upper 70s. All round a pretty great day in Minnesota for
late July. Only downside is there will be some gusty winds starting
in the late morning/early afternoon. High pressure will move into the
Upper Midwest behind the cold front, so these cooler temperatures and
drier weather will continue into Monday. The next chance for rain
will come on Tuesday as another cold front moves across the Upper
Midwest. How this cold front plays out will depend on the timing of
its passage. If it is later in the day then thunderstorms could occur
and be strong. If it is earlier in the day then it would trend
towards rain showers with some isolated thunder. It all depends on
how much instability can build ahead of this passage. If the passage
can hold off then WAA could return high temperatures back above
normal. Behind the cold front high pressure will move in for the rest
of the week. So expect more near normal temperatures will few
chances for rain Wednesday into Saturday.
