Flooding rains to the north

A storm system off to the west will continue to deepen as it moves northeast of the immediate Stateline.  As it does, gulf moisture will continue to be pumped in through the Plains and upper Mississippi River Valley.  A warm front lies to the north in central Wisconsin and has been the focus for some heavy rainfall through the overnight and this morning.  Rain will continue to fall over these locations as the low pulls into the upper Great Lakes by this evening.  A few storms may develop in Iowa this afternoon ahead of a cold front that will move through the overnight and sit east of the Stateline by mid-Friday morning.  Gusty southwest winds ahead of the system will warm us into the mid 80s for today, but cool us back into the upper 60s by Friday afternoon.  If you have any plans to take a trip up north this weekend, please watch for flooding as there are numerous Flash Flood Warnings/Watches and Advisories that stretch from northern Wisconsin, central Minnesota and down through northwestern Iowa.
