25 MAY 2010 EXTENDED FORECAST

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FIRED THIS MORNING OVER POW, JASPER, TAMA, AND MARSHALL COUNTIES AS A WEAK UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM MOVED SE OUT OF THE DAKOTAS OVERNITE (BY THE WAY - I DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING - OOPPS). YOU WON'T HEAR THAT ADMITTED ON TV WEATHER...........

REST OF FORECAST SEEMS ON TRACK AS THE STALLED FRONT OVER WRN IOWA BEGINS TO TRACK EAST THRU THE DAY. SOMETIMES MORNING SHOWERS OR STORMS HAMPER/DELAY AFTERNOON ACTIVITY, BUT I BELIEVE THE FRONT WILL PROVIDE A FOCAL POINT FOR STORMS LATER TODAY, AND INTO WEDNESDAY.......TOTAL PRECIP AMOUNTS FROM THIS AFTERNOON INTO TOMORROW SHOULD REMAIN AROUND THE 1/4 INCH MARK, BUT COULD BE ABIT HIGHER UNDER A STORM......
