Good Monday evening everyone!
Rain rain go away!!! Good news is that all these clouds and showers and drizzle will finally exit stage right for at least Tuesday and Wednesday and the better part of Thursday. Sunshine will be the dominate weather feature which will be super nice. Temps this week will be 5-10 degrees above normal each day. Enjoy that because it appears that a pattern change is on the way this weekend.
The graphic I posted shows the potential temperature departure from normal Sunday evening. You can pretty much see that everywhere east of the Rockies is going cold. This should be the beginning of an overall pattern change where colder than normal weather should dominate the eastern half of the US. For those of you who like to follow weather apps, you will probably see some nutty temps and weather show up for parts of next week. Don’t get caught up in those details as surface weather features can’t be nailed down that far out. The main takeaway is that a major pattern change looks to be on the table. The rest will work itself out. People ask me all the time about when it’s going to snow. Well if the pattern isn’t right then it takes a perfect timing miracle which happens every now and then. But when the pattern is right then you have to look for that weather system. I always say first we need the weather pattern then we can start looking at the details (within a 5 day range).
Well I think the pattern is going to come around with the cold front that is going to blast through here early Sunday. Then the following 7-10 days or more should feature multiple strong cold fronts and weather systems that will need to be closely tracked.
With that in mind here are the details…
Tuesday and Wednesday…sunny with highs in the low to mid 50s after morning lows in the upper 20 to low 30s.
Thursday…becoming cloudy with rain showers likely by late afternoon or evening. Rain should last into Thursday night.
Friday…clearing skies with a high in the upper 50s.
Saturday…becoming cloudy with showers or drizzle likely. High in the upper 50s.
Sunday…Rain ending early then clearing and turning windy with temps falling below freezing during the afternoon.
Thanks for reading!
