Time and Day: 0730 Monday
The Snapshot: Dry, warm and a bit breezy today with light
rain developing tonight. Tuesday will
be rainy with cooler air arriving on Wednesday.
The Science: The high pressure that brought us the
beautiful weather yesterday is being pushed east by an approaching low pressure
system. East west pressure gradients
will tighten along the crest, hence the gusty easterly winds starting to
blow. Clouds will move in today, along
with a warmer moist air mass. Cooler air aloft begins to fill in on Wednesday for some lower freezing
levels and a bit of snow to add to the mix.
The Long Range: Thursday
will be mostly dry with more active weather (the rain vs snow game) returning
on Friday.
