   ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

   An evolving narrow corridor of isolated showers and thunderstorms
   along a cold front will progress through southern Minnesota/northern
   Wisconsin through today. Expected PWAT values of 0.8 to 1.0 inch
   will support a mix of wet and dry thunderstorm cores through the
   afternoon so Isolated Dry Thunderstorm highlights were withheld.
   Otherwise, previous forecast (see below) is evolving as expected.

   ...Synopsis...
   Amplified mid-level flow will continue across the CONUS today as a
   broad upper low gradually moves eastward. Western US ridging will
   also amplify, forcing stronger flow aloft over the northern US. At
   the surface, a cold front will move south across the Northern Plains
   and Great Lakes. Relatively mild and wet conditions will prevent
   broader fire-weather concerns over much of the country, though a few
   drier thunderstorms are possible along the cold front.

   ...Northern Plains and Great Lakes...
   As the cold front progresses southward, isolated thunderstorms are
   likely to form along and ahead of it through the heat of the day.
   With relatively modest moisture (PWAT values around 0.8 inches)
   these storms are expected to be relatively high based. A mixed mode
   of wet/occasional dry storms is possible with some lightning risk
   over recent dry fuels. While coverage of the drier storms appears
   limited, increasingly dry and breezy conditions behind the cold
   front could allow for some lightning ignitions and localized
   fire-weather concerns.
