WEATHER SUMMARY FOR UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
355 AM CST WED FEB 10 2010

ALL SNOW ENDED LAST EVENING ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY REGION...WITH SKIES EVEN PARTIALLY CLEARING OUT WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER. TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN ON THE DECLINE DUE TO
COLDER AIR MOVING IN ON NORTHWEST WINDS. READINGS AS OF 4 AM RANGED
FROM AROUND 10 ABOVE IN ROCHESTER AND MASON CITY TO THE MID TO UPPER
TEENS ALONG AND EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

LOOK FOR CLOUDS TO CLEAR WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AS A
RIDGE OF ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE PLAINS. ALTHOUGH
MORE SUN IS EXPECTED...THE COLD AIRMASS MOVING IN WILL RESULT IN
HIGHS IN THE MID TEENS TO LOW 20S...WARMEST ALONG AND EAST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER. EXPECT A COLD NIGHT TONIGHT WITH THE RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE MOVING OVERHEAD. CLEAR SKIES AND WINDS BECOMING LIGHT WILL
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO...AND
EVEN TO AROUND TEN BELOW OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND NORTH
CENTRAL IOWA.

LOOKING AHEAD TO THURSDAY...MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ARE EXPECTED WITH THE
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE NEARBY. PLAN ON HIGHS SIMILAR TO TODAY...IN THE
MID TEENS TO LOW 20S.
