Precipitation:

Howdy! A Low will be moving through the Missouri/Illinois area today, causing everything from snow in Wisconsin to thunderstorms near Alabama and Tennessee.

Temperature:

Temperatures will be seasonal for much of the U.S., with cooler air drifting southward behind the Low.

Challenge Questions:

Do you think there will be tornadoes ahead of the cold front, today? Why do they usually occur in the area southeast of the Low that is east of the cold front and south of the warm front?
