Zonal flow aloft over much of the U.S. will keep weather conditions quiet for the short term. Surface low over northern Minnesota extends a cold front as far south as the North Texas Panhandle. Ahead of this front is a strong southwesterly surface flow which will allow temperatures into the mid-70’s today. Also associated with this system is some gusty winds. Skies will remain clear over the target area however partly cloudy conditions can be found further east. RADIATIONAL cooling will send temperatures down into the low 30’s tonight before a cooler day tomorrow. The target area will be on the back side of the system and just ahead of surface high bringing in northwest winds. High temperature for Saturday will get into the mid 60’s before some clouds begin to move into the region. These clouds will keep the overnight low a little bit warmer staying above the freezing point. Sunday, expect some clouds and southwesterly surface flow. Temperatures will remain relatively the same as Saturday. Chances of rain for Sunday night are possible depending the location and placement of an upper level low. At this time, timing and placement do not look favorable for our target area until Monday night. However rain chances could pop into the forecast for as early as Sunday night into Monday, however as of now rain chances are only looking good Monday night into Tuesday morning. Behind this upper level system will be another surface high which looks to end our week on another dry period.
