Coming out of May Long weekend it was a similar weather theme to the start of it back on Friday; wet and cool.
"We had a very similar weather set-up early morning Tuesday to Tuesday afternoon when a slow-moving upper-level low pushing northward out of the Dakotas brought another round of rainfall to the region," said CMOS Accredited Weathercaster Chris Sumner. "If you happened to take a look at the RADAR imagery Monday morning, it looked almost like a carbon copy of the system we had move through Thursday night into Friday."

Sumner noted the cooler temperatures will continue for one more day as an upper-level trough over the eastern Prairies, and high pressure over Hudson Bay, control the weather pattern in our region.
"The combination of those two factors continues to keep the jet stream to our south, and cooler air continuing to flow into the region," he said. "A pattern shift is starting to happen though, as the same area of high pressure helping clear things out and bring back the sun to help warm things up. At this point, it looks like seasonal temperatures, say 19 to 22 degrees, Thursday through the end of the week."
Averages at this point in May are 22 degrees daytime and 7 degrees overnight.
