Thanks Brad..In spite of the low level clouds, that deeepr moisture and rain associated with trowal of the central plains low (showed up nicely on the 700 hPa dewpoints and theta-e), never did quite make it into Manitoba.With front coming thru by mid-morning to midday.. question then becomes how cold it will get Saturday nad Sunday nites. Arctic high starts nosing in early Sunday morning, but a bit of cold advection and a gradient at 925 may keep some mixing going. The other wild card appears to be mid and high level clouds, that will stream east over-top the ridge. The lower, thicker clouds will be down in N Dakota however. With 850 hPa temps at -5 to -7 C, will have to see how cold the calm, clear areas (off to our NW most likely) can get - with a lot of ground heat and moisture flux likely.High lingers on Sunday nite as well, but by dawn mid-level clouds start moving up from the SW. Temperatures will tank early and then stabilize, depending on the timing of the clouds.LLJ gets cranking overnite Monday, with showers moving up from the south. Cold air starts wrapping in by Tuesday afternoon heralding a possible change over to slushy snow :(Daniel
