SIGNIFICANT WEATHER OUTLOOK

...BREEZY AND WARMER TODAY...THEN A VERY COOL NIGHT...

AFTER A CHILLY START THIS MORNING...SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL HELP BOOST
TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S ACROSS THE AREA TODAY.
CONDITIONS WILL AGAIN BE BREEZY WITH SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS FROM 15 TO
25 MPH DEVELOPING BY MIDDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. DRY AIR IN PLACE WILL PREVENT THE FRONT
FROM PRODUCING ANYTHING MORE THAN A FEW SPRINKLES...AND THESE WOULD BE
MOST LIKELY FROM DUBUQUE TO FREEPORT. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACT OF
THIS FRONT...HOWEVER...WILL BE A REINFORCING SHOT OF COOL AND DRY AIR.

TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL DROP INTO THE 30S AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES
INTO THE AREA. THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT FROST OF THE SEASON MAY TAKE PLACE
AND STEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PROTECT SENSITIVE VEGETATION FROM THE COLD
TEMPERATURES.

STORM SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY OR TONIGHT.
