Northern Plains Update: Targeting Weekend Rains and Possible Severe Threat. E.

Key Points: September 27, 2017

Synopsis: Good morning! The unsettled conditions have finally ended across the region as the cold front has pushed off to the south and east. High pressure will lead to a dry day today along with seasonable conditions. A weak cold front will knock temperatures back tomorrow and Friday before another system approaches the region later this weekend. This system will bring another widespread rain and storm chance to the region. As we approach harvest, we are noting a wet pattern persisting across the Upper Midwest and Plains which could certainly impact harvest operations depending on the time of planted crop. Have a blessed day!
