COLD AIR AND STRATOCU SURGING TOWARD CWFA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH 
WRAP-AROUND PRECIP DROPPING INTO NORTHWEST IOWA.  TEMPS SHOULD FALL 
INTO THE 30S BEFORE PRECIP HITS WESTERN BOUNDARY OF CWFA...SO PRECIP 
SHOULD BE SNOW TONIGHT.  WILL UP POPS NORTHERN ZONES TO LIKELY WITH 
CHANCE I 80 CORRIDOR AND ONLY FLURRIES SOUTH.  

LONG WAVE TROUGH HOLDS OVER THE CENTRAL US THROUGH MID WEEK.  BY 
WEDNESDAY...SHOULD SEE A MARKED WARMUP WITH WESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW 
AND SUNSHINE.  COLDER AIR STRONG VORT APRROACHES IN NORTHWEST FLOW 
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  BEST FORCING LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE NORTH OF THE 
CWFA INITIALLY...BUT LOW LEVEL LIFT ALONG THE FRONT WARRANTS POPS 
AREAWIDE THURSDAY. COLDER AIR FILTERS IN BEHIND THIS SECOND 
FRONT...SO COLDER TEMPS EXPECTED FOR THURSDAY NIGHT.  

PROGRESSIVE PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND.  MOISTURE AND 
SPEED OF THE SYSTEMS WILL BE THE LIMITING FACTOR FOR SIGNIFICANT 
PRECIP.  FRIDAY STILL LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER LOW CHANCE OF LIGHT PRECIP.
