Stormy Forecast Continues

Today looks to be a lapse in the thunderstorm chances across the state, however they will return by tomorrow night and continue through Wednesday. Highs' today better than expected, being in the low to mid 70s throughout the state. Lows tonight should be fairly mild with 50s across the state, winds will pick-up for Memorial Day bringing moisture with them. Highs for your holiday will be quite warm, in the upper 70s and lower 80s throughout the state with southerly winds gusting 15-25 mph. Monday night will bring in the first chances for thunderstorms over that state, as they move in from the west during the late night hours. The remnants of those storms will likely dissipate over the state in the morning hours, with redevelopment likely Tuesday afternoon over western Iowa along a cold front. Those storms will work their way eastward during the evening and overnight hours over much of the state and should be cleared by Thursday. Temperatures during those days in the lower 80s/upper 70s ahead of the front, while behind the front temperatures will likely only be in the upper 60s, low 70s...
Severe weather with this system is still undetermined, small chances for severe thunderstorms will remain for Tuesday/Tuesday night over the state.

TWISTEX Update: TWISTEX will not be operating tomorrow for the Dakotas, as the threat is likely a one day trip which does not seem opportune at this time. Beyond the threat early this week, quiet times ahead with northwest flow and thus does not look likely for any operations until the June 6-8 time frame.
