Friday Night Football rain?

It's possible.  Skies have been fairly dry since the record breaking rainfall early last week.  Since then, we've been dealing with a little more fall-like weather.  This trend will continue for the rest of the week, but each day temperatures will continue to warm.


Low pressure spinning in the southwest will ride overtop a ridge of high pressure in the center of the United States.  Thunderstorms are likely from the Plains to Iowa and Minnesota by Thursday afternoon and evening, with heavy rain falling from Iowa into Wisconsin by Saturday night.

For us, low pressure will track right overhead giving us the chance for a few showers and thunderstorms, but it doesn't look like a complete washout.  Thunderstorms are in the forecast for Friday night, but the majority of the rain could very well hold off until after 8pm.

Low pressure lingers through Saturday, so we'll hold on to the cloud cover with a few scattered showers into the afternoon.  Rainfall amounts could add up to half an inch in some of the heavier showers.  After that, skies look dry until the end of next week.
