Key Points: September 14, 2017
Synopsis: Good Thursday morning! We are tracking a weak disturbance bringing some showers to the Dakotas. This will push east and weaken today while it stays hot for many across zone 9. The bigger system of note comes tomorrow into Saturday as a wave of low pressure forms along a cold front. This will deliver some heavy rains to the Dakotas and northern Minnesota – some places may see 2-4″! Temperatures will briefly crash below normal behind the front Sunday-Monday before rising back above normal for the middle of the week. Week 2 precipitation looks to remain above normal as well. Have a blessed day!
