:: Just Enjoy It
Short hiatus here on the journal...but weather has been generally typical for late June-early July...and we should just enjoy it. Last system I went into depth on focused on the upper jet pegging itself over the ND-MN area, with a strong northwest flow sending shortwave ripples across the Gopher state. As a resut, June precip caught up over much of the state, and a few convective spurts generated some strong storms on Saturday. The last of these ripples should graze MN today before the jet cuts into an upper low which will take the backside of the jet off the NW flow by late Friday. Right now there is some evidence to suggest this return to zonal flow by the upper jet will trigger a frontal event for the beginning of the holiday weekend, however, at 84 hours out the certainty still isn't there.
TUESDAY...Clear til about 1100, then turning Partly Cloudy, maybe passing shower. High 80
WEDNESDAY...Clear, High 80.
