Key Points – Friday, September 15, 2017:
Synopsis: Good Friday morning! Scattered storms are on the radar across the region this morning, and expect the radar to become more active going through the day as a series of low pressure systems move along a frontal zone draped across the northern Plains into Saturday. Going through the weekend, this front will work south and east with the northern Plains gradually clearing out, while storm chances linger further south and east. This front will also bring MUCH cooler temperatures this weekend working into the northern Plains. The pattern continues to look active going into the next few weeks. Details in today’s video. Have a blessed day, and let us know if you have any questions!
