Frost Advisory

UPDATE: The Frost Advisory has now been expanded to include all of eastern MN, as well as parts of central MN, and a majority of WI. The only exception, at this point, would be folks in far north central and northeastern MN and northern WI, where Freeze Warnings are currently in effect. Frost and Freeze advisories are typically issued during the growing season, mostly during the spring and early fall months. It gives people a chance to bring in their plants from outside, and cover those that can't be brought in. Below is the map of the advisories and warnings, as of 12:30pm on Tuesday. The Frost Advisory and Freeze Warning is in effect starting at midnight tonight, and lasting until 8am Wednesday. The light blue is the Frost Advisory, and the greenish-blue is the Freeze Warning.



Models still advertising a large, slow moving storm system that will be impacting the region starting late Thursday, and lasting through early Saturday morning. This still appears to be a heavy rain event across most of the area. The heaviest rain appears to be during the day on Friday. The only inhibiting factor could be the fact that easterly winds could be over the area, which typically brings in drier air. That could possibly hold the rain at bay initially, but a good soaking does still appear to be on the way. Below is an image from the GFS model for Friday morning.
