Fall is arriving with quite the style across the northern Rockies! That cooler air will make it into the Dakotas and Minnesota today as the frontal boundary progresses across the country.

Severe Weather

In addition to the temperature swing, will be heavy rain and the potential for severe weather, especially in the Northern Great Lakes. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has highlighted northern Wisconsin and Michigan for the potential for damaging winds later Friday afternoon and evening. Heavy rain will be the focus for most, along the entire frontal boundary this afternoon and evening with locally heavy rain creating flood concerns. This rainfall is desperately needed for the High Plains where drought conditions are expanding deep into the September. Some peeks of blue are even showing up in the higher peaks of Wyoming! A light dusting of snow can be seen in some of the showers on the cold side of the front overnight Friday in Saturday.

Temps

Most noticeable to everyone will be the temperatures and big cool off. Some of the coolest temperatures arrive today as the bottom drops out and the mercury dives 10-15 degrees BELOW average.
