Alma Center Weather - Special Cases

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PARTS OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...
NORTHEAST IOWA...AND SOUTHWEST INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW ON WHETHER A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS THE AREA TODAY INTO TONIGHT. THE BEST CHANCE FOR ANY STORMS
WILL MOST LIKELY BE ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA THIS MORNING AND ALSO
LATER TONIGHT...AS LARGER THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES PASS OVER CENTRAL
IOWA. IF ANY STORMS DO DEVELOP IN THE AREA...SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT
EXPECTED. THE MAIN THREAT WOULD BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

BETTER CHANCES FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL ARRIVE
ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON...LINGERING INTO THE MIDDLE EVENING HOURS AS A
COLD FRONT SHIFTS THROUGH THE REGION. STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE
WIDESPREAD...BUT THE TIMING OF THE FRONT INTO THE AREA AT PEAK
HEATING...AND AMPLE MOISTURE SUGGESTS THAT A FEW STRONG OR SEVERE
STORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA. MAIN THREATS WITH THESE STORMS
WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAIN RATES...WITH A FEW
HAVING THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WILL WANT TO MONITOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ON FRIDAY...AND BE
PREPARED FOR LOCAL DEPLOYMENTS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
