Another Chance for Rain

A weak frontal boundary located along the Mississippi River this morning will push slowly eastward today and should be located between Starkville and Winona this evening. There are not a lot of upper level dynamics working with this front, so surface convergence alone will be the primary lifting mechanism. None of the models have a real good handle on the current surface features, but I expect another round of scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms again today. Satellite images suggest that a few breaks in the clouds should occur later this morning, which should boost temperatures into the low to mid 80s today. In fact, highs should top out around 84 this afternoon. Rain chances will continue through 9 p.m., but we should be dry afterward. Lows should drop to 70 tomorrow morning. If you're tired of the cloudy and wet weather, then look forward to some cooler and drier weather early next week!
