Warmer, Wind & a Chance of T-Storms

A storm system now entering the northern Rockies will track across the northern plains Sunday night into Monday. As this storm moves east it will affect our area in two ways. First, on Sunday it will lower the surface pressure to our west increasing our winds from the south (see below the forecast surface map for 6 PM Sunday from the NAM model. I drew in the fronts. The blue shading represents winds over 20-25 mph. ). A warm front will move through today with just some clouds as there is little moisture to work with.

Secondly, there will be a chance of scattered showers and T-Storms late tonight into very early Monday morning as the storm system drags a weak cold front through our area. Late tonight there may be just enough moisture for some rain. Rainfall amounts, if any, will likely be .25" or less.
