synopsis...
high pressure centered over lake michigan will cross the area
today and then move off the east coast on wednesday. low pressure
from the plains states will move across the central great lakes by
wednesday evening dragging a cold front across the area wednesday
night. a trough will rotate southeast across the area on thursday.
high pressure will slowly build over the region from the northwest
at the end of the week
&&
near term /until 6 pm this evening/...
the central portion of the area has cleared. the thinking earlier
was that the clouds over ne ohio and nw pa would drift west. this
no longer seems likely. with the high just off to the northwest
and moving this way expect the remaining clouds to continue to
dissipate. the daylight hours will be mainly sunny all areas.
temps will get off to a chilly start this morning and given the
airmass overhead...highs will struggle to get out of the 30s over
the eastern third of the area. winds will be less than yesterday
and that should make it feel a tad warmer.
&&
short term /6 pm this evening through friday night/...
active weather will continue across the region with a period of
unseasonably cool and wet weather expected through the end of the
week. we should be able to stay dry tonight but after that precip
is likely every period. the models are still showing differences
with the low track for wednesday. fortunately the timing of the
onset of the precip on wednesday is similar. expect showers to
rapidly spread east across the area during the morning and midday
hours. if the precip gets going earlier than expected across nw
ohio there may be a brief period of snow or mixed precip. high
precip chances will continue wednesday night. the models are also
similar with the movement of the cold front across the area
wednesday night. good cold air advection is expected but it will
remain warm enough for showers on thursday. the models continue to
show differences for thursday. similar to the past couple of days
the gfs develops a secondary low which moves across the area. the
ecwmf shows troughiness but little reflection at the surface.
either way showers appear likely with temperatures again well
below normal. by thursday evening temps and critical thickness
will get cold enough for a possible switch to snow. not
anticipating any accumulation but it will be rather raw outside.
it's hard to believe it...but friday may end up being as cold as
monday was. will keep mixed showers going during the day and more
snow at night. accumulation will be tough during the daylight
hours but the nighttime hours could end up being a different
story.
given the changing airmasses have not strayed too far from
guidance for temps.
&&
long term /saturday through monday/...
saturday starts with some lingering lake effect snow in the east.
by daybreak saturday the 850mb temps plunge to -14c to -16c and a
lake temp hovering around 6c will be enough lift and moisture.
however this far out will just continue with chance pops.
models coming into much better agreement moving high pressure across
the lower lakes sunday...and off the mid atlantic coast monday.
this will allow the next system to approach monday. luckily
warm front lifts north first ushering in warmer conditions...and
precip should fall as rain.
