 Central Minnesota Weather Discussion 04/30/24 by Aidan Cera Rain Rolls Through Tonight  Good evening central Minnesota! Hope you are having success at dodging those drops that are coming down at quite a clip at times. This rain is part of a extensive band of showers and thunderstorms stretching nearly from Canada all the way down to Mexico! These showers and storms will continue to make their way eastward through the evening as a negatively tilted shortwave trough moves east as well. Thinking there will be a seperate broken line of storms that will develop behind this first round of rain given remaining instability and moisture but not everyone will see this rain.                  Personal photo of altcomulus clouds being churned by gravity waves rippling across the atmosphere from nearby rain activity.  Skies should clear out as the night progresses, with lows falling into the mid 40ºF's for most of central Minnesota.  Case of the Deja Vu's  As alluded to in the title, we are

04/25/24 Weather Outlook for Central Minnesota by Aidan Cera  Good afternoon central Minnesota! There is quite a bit to talk about here locally and nationally with the weather over the next few days, so figured I would just dive right into it and go from there this time around.

Thinking highs for most of the area today will be near 70ºF based on current observations, and those winds are going to keep on whipping as the pressure gradient associated with our incoming storm system tightens. Not expecting any rain today, cloud coverage should increase by the end of the day today though as moisture in the upper and mid levels of the atmosphere begins to surge northward.  Rai

 April 23rd Weather Discussion  by Aidan Cera Good evening central Minnesota! Aidan Cera here with a look ahead at the weather we can expect over the coming days. Fortunately, my schedule has been freeing up and will continue to do so more the immediate future so am looking to post more frequent updates.  Today was a fantastic spring day across central Minnesota, with temperatures nearing 60ºF for highs in some spots. There were a few passing showers during this afternoon as those cumulus clouds grew thick enough to produce precipitation, courtesy of daytime destabilization along with forcing from a cold front passing through. Most locations didn't pick up much to any rain at all, while some locations such as St. Cloud likely received near a tenth of an inch of rain. Nothing too noteworthy but rain is rain and any rain we get this time of year is good for us!  Speaking of rain, some out there have no doubt noticed we have a really good chance at seeing rain on Friday. There is very
