CANADIAN HIGH HAS REMOVED CLOUDS FROM CWFA BUT SYSTEM CLOUDS FROM
NEXT STORM HAVE MOVED INTO WESTERN IOWA. THIS SYSTEM LIKE NEARLY
ALL OTHERS TO JUST BRUSH THE FAR SOUTH CWFA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. PER FORECAST SOUNDINGS ATMOSPHERE WILL HAVE TO SATURATE UP
BEFORE PRODUCING PRECIP.  QG FORCING THE STRONGEST AROUND 06Z AND
ENTIRE EVENT LIKELY TO BE AROUND 6 HOURS...FROM 03 TO 09Z. BEST
ACCUMULATION TO BE AROUND AN INCH SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 34 WITH A
DUSTING UP TO A WASHINGTON/ALEDO LINE. CLOUDS TO HANG AROUND FOR
MUCH OF THE DAY MONDAY BEFORE CLEARING OUT LATE. BRISK WINDS AND CAA
TO PREVENT TEMPS FROM RECOVERING MUCH AND PUSH WIND CHILLS CLOSE TO
ADVISORY CRITERIA MONDAY. WINDS TO DIMINISH MONDAY NIGHT AS HIGH
BUILDS IN ALLOWING TEMPS TO FALL TO OR BELOW ZERO MUCH OF THE AREA.

NO CHANGES TO EXTENDED...HOWEVER TRENDS OF GLOBAL MODELS SUGGEST
THAT MID WEEK SYSTEM MAY JUST BRUSH THE FAR SOUTH OR MISS THE AREA
ENTIRELY. WILL PASS ON CONCERNS TO DAY SHIFT.
