DEBRIS CLOUDS STREAMING OFF SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER
NEBRASKA AND WESTERN IOWA...WILL FILTER THE SUNSHINE OVER THE
LOCAL AREA TODAY. THE CLOUDS MAY THICKEN ENOUGH BY MID AFTERNOON TO
CREATE MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER. OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD ACROSS THE
AREA FOR ONE MORE DAY...AS TEMPERATURES RISE INTO THE UPPER 70S FOR
AFTERNOON HIGHS.

A LARGE SHORT WAVE WILL DROP ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST BY LATE
TONIGHT. THE RESULTING FRONTAL AND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AT THE SURFACE
WILL EVENTUALLY SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA BY MID SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL ACCOMPANY THIS SYSTEM...WITH
CURRENT INDICATIONS SUGGESTING MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL FALL
ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IF THE ATMOSPHERE CAN
SATURATE ENOUGH...SOME RAIN MAY FORM WELL OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND
MAKE IT ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN AND NORTHEAST IOWA AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT. AREAS MORE PRONE OF EXPERIENCING SOME LATE NIGHT RAIN AND
SPRINKLES...ARE ALONG AND WEST OF A WASHINGTON...TO MANCHESTER LINE.
