FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR UPDATE CONCERNS TEMPERATURES AND PCPN CHANCES.

NORTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE CROSSING HEART OF FA AT THIS TIME. FROM 
00Z RAOBS DEEPEST LAYERED RH AHEAD OF SHEAR AXIS FROM EXTREME SE NE 
INTO MN. THIS LINING UP WELL WITH DIMINISHING ECHOES FROM KMVX-88D. 
MONITORING METARS HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RESTRICTION TO VSBY IN -SN SO IF 
ANY RETURNS TOUCHING THE GROUND LIKELY ONLY FLURRIES. CURRENT AREAL 
MENTION OF ISOLD -SW/FLURRIES LOOKS GOOD. DID TRIM BACK ON FLURRY 
MENTION ACROSS VALLEY AS LITTLE SHOWING UP IN MVFR CLOUD DECK. 
CLEARING LINE HAS SLOWED UP AND LOOKING LIKE ALL BUT NW FA WILL BE 
IN CLOUDS MOST OF NIGHT. NUDGED MINIMUMS UP SLIGHTLY AS A RESULT. 
WILL ADJUST CLOUD TRENDS ACCORDINGLY WITH REMAINDER OF FORECAST OK.
