I simply do NOT see any intense summer heat anytime soon as a fast W/NW flow dominates. However, I'm seeing plenty of opportunities for showers & T'Storms. So, if you're looking for a soaking, you're in luck. Here is your extended outlook.

A fast & ACTIVE W/NW flow in our atmosphere = plenty of opportunities for RAIN along with near or below normal temperatures. For many of us, this is just what the Doctor ordered. Here is your extended outlook.

MN Cabin Country will dry out & cool down this weekend as Canadian air seeps south on N/NW winds. In turn, temps will be below normal with sweatshirt conditions likely during the mornings. Here is your 'UP NORTH' outlook.

Good news here for some. As a COOL front attempts to surge southeast this evening, a narrow corridor of showers/T'Storms should develop from near the Twin Cities east into central WI. Here is the latest 12z HRRR 24 hour total precipitation potential map.

Here is the latest DROUGHT Index as of earlier this week. Although we've received some beneficial rains across much of the region, we still need more as summer heat will take a toll over the next couple of months.

What a beautiful start to the weekend in northwest WISCO. The mostly dry conditions will continue. Meanwhile, as Canadian air seeps south, our temperatures will cool to below normal. All in all, pretty darn nice for mid-June. Here is your 'NORTHWOODS' outlook.

After a wet day tomorrow, we begin a nice drying trend as Canadian air seeps south into MN/WI. By this weekend, temps should be near or below normal as breezy NW winds dominate. Eventually, we will warm-up again next week. Here is your extended outlook.

SEVERE threat is waning over eastern MN as a cool front will quickly track east. However, northwest WISCO is under the gun for the next several hours. You can see the T'Storms developing along & ahead of this front on radar. Check it out.

There is a narrow opportunity for SEVERE weather over eastern MN between 12pm - 5pm this afternoon as a cool front pushes east thru a high energy airmass. So, keep an eye to the sky, especially along & east of the I-35 corridor.

Guidance continues to strongly hint that a large & potentially SEVERE T'Storm complex (MCS) will roll across MN & western WI after midnight tonight as strong dynamics combine with plenty of energy to keep the complex alive. Here is the set-up.

Conditions are looking favorable for a large severe T'Storm complex (MCS) to develop along a cool front in the Dakotas tomorrow evening & track thru MN during the night. This complex would likely contain an impressive squall line. Here is the set-up.
