Memorial Day Forecast for Midwest

A cold front will sag southward into the Ohio Valley, Missouri and Nebraska Sunday.

Showers and thunderstorms are likely along and south of the front.

Fortunately from eastern North Dakota to the Great Lakes, mostly sunny skies will prevail.

It will be a little chilly in the Upper Midwest to start the day Sunday with some 30s in northern Minnesota, northernmost Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Patchy frost is possible.

Later in the day, most of the region will be in the 70s and lower 80s, but parts of the Dakotas and Upper Midwest will only see highs in the 60s.

On Monday and Tuesday, an upper-level disturbance, low-pressure area and weak front will traverse the northern Plains and Minnesota.

At the same time with the aforementioned Sunday front stalling in the Ohio Valley and Missouri, the wet southern storm will inch northward from Arkansas into Missouri.

On Monday, only the Great Lakes will escape the rain. On Tuesday, only the Dakotas could be rain free. - Weather.com
