Discussion

A cold front crossed the area on Sunday ending our break from winter weather conditions and it’ll stay relatively cold for the next several days. Strong high pressure will reach the Northern Plains by tomorrow and it will gradually build to the south and east by later this week. A couple of weak systems will try to push some light precipitation into our direction early this week, but dry weather should prevail for much of the time. Looking ahead, there are some interesting prospects for a storm later this weekend or early next week as moisture pulls out of the Gulf of Mexico at the same time Arctic air sits across the northern US.
