For the second morning in a row the radar picture was “clean” across the Midwest, but it will certainly not be that way tomorrow morning as warmer air returning to the region will be kicking off a round of big thunderstorms tonight in northern parts of the region. It is yet another favorable set-up for severe weather, as the Storm Prediction Center has Minnesota, western Wisconsin, and far northern Iowa in a “moderate” risk of severe weather through early tomorrow. Look for strong, straight-line winds to be the biggest problem in the severe weather that is likely to be seen. Certainly there will be some localized downpours of rain with those storm as well so additional flash-flooding can be expected. That system will be followed by a cold front advancing southeastward through the Midwest for the second half of the weekend, giving most of the Corn Belt a threat of severe weather for late tomorrow and into tomorrow night, and still in eastern parts of the region for Sunday. Once we can get that cold front to pass, we are then still looking at a generally dry work-week period from the Midwest. It should be enough of a dry spell to get river levels to recede a bit, allow for needed crop spraying to get done, and hopefully enough to get the 2010 soybean planting season finally completed. It would still be great to get a good drink of water into the Delta region, and while that area has chances for rain I am still pessimistic about chances for a major soaker in the heart of the region. If you were lucky you got a great rain yesterday in the northern Delta, but it looks like coverage of any of that was well under 20 percent. We will probably see something similar again this afternoon before things quiet again for the weekend. Cooler air arriving in the Delta for Monday/Tuesday will bring another threat of rain, but again not the big-coverage, big-amount rain event that is needed. Chances of a land-falling tropical weather system for the Gulf Coast look diminished, as a system that likely will form and get a name this weekend (tropical storm status at worst; name of Alex) looks like it is headed for the Yucatan peninsula.
