Temperatures this afternoon have warmed into the lower 60s to mid 70s. The clouds are associated with an upper level low currently over northeast Missouri. The cold front which moved through the region last night and this morning is now across central Mississippi. As the upper low moves northeast, clouds will exit the region tonight leaving mostly clear skies. On Friday, the frontal boundary over central Mississippi will move back north as a warm front and should get close to the region. In addition, a cold front will approach the region from the west.
225 PM CDT Thu Apr 8 2021 Slow-moving low pressure continues to meander through Iowa into Minnesota this afternoon, with an area of showers north of I-94 and back to the west in western MN. Aloft, the upper low looks to be slightly south of this but becoming nearly vertically stacked. An interesting temperature setup is noted as well, as cold air wrapped around the low is actually advecting in from the south, making for temperatures in the 50s early this afternoon across northeast IA/far southwest WI, to the 60s north of there (outside of showers). Showers should gradually fill back in tonight as the dry slot moves northwest and the upper level low rotates into the area. by early Friday morning the nearly stacked low pressure system will be directly overhead and shifting northeast through the day.
313 PM EDT Thu Apr 8 2021 Latest sfc analysis places the cold front along the I-65 corridor, evident by southwest winds and a scattered cu field. Expect temps to bottom out in the low 50s across the region. Max temps will likely reach the low 80s, just shy of 20 degrees above normal.
107 PM MDT Thu Apr 8 2021 NW winds have been increasing across the area today as a cold front is pushing through. Dry air near the cold front near the Big Sheep Mountains early this afternoon is an indication that the current Red Flag Warning looks good (or bad depending on your perspective). However, this is expected to moisten up a bit as an upper trough will dig into the area and provide enough divergence aloft coupled with instability to give some decent showers to mainly southeast Montana. The next cold front marches SE through the area bringing more wind and not as much precip.
Upper low situated over northern Missouri will start to pick up speed as it gets nudged northeast by another system dropping southeast through the northern Rockies. Meanwhile, out to the west, as the approaching system moves into the High Plains, expect some UVM to spread out across the western CWA.
145 PM MST Thu Apr 8 2021 With high pressure remaining situated over the region, high temperatures will hover around 10 degrees above average through the weekend. This area of high pressure will also ensure widespread dry weather with no realistic chance of rain.
Interaction between an upper trough dropping into the Great Basin and a building ridge off the CA coast are producing a strong onshore pressure gradient resulting in breezy conditions this afternoon across the Kern County Mountains and Deserts with several stations already measuring gusts between 35 and 45 mph. SREF showing pressure gradients relaxing Friday morning as the offshore ridge amplifies and builds inland and strengthens over central CA through the weekend.
Today's gusty winds are occurring due to enhanced surface pressure gradients well ahead of a strong surface cold front currently tracking across northwestern Wyoming. Most of the area outside of the mountains should see less than one inch, but expect to see local amounts around 2-3 inches along the Pine Ridge with a respectable orographic influence post-fropa.
An area of low pressure and associated frontal system extending south through the Mississippi River Valley is currently producing scattered showers and storms over the western panhandle and will slowly push eastward through Friday.
111 PM CDT Thu Apr 8 2021 An upper low over NW MO will bring showers to the northern CWA and gusty winds area-wide today. Precip exits the area this evening, leaving tonight dry with lows in the low 40s to low 50s (warmest south).
1236 PM CDT Thu Apr 8 2021 (Today and tonight) Breezy southwest to west winds will develop across the area today, along with warmer temperatures. Abundant sunshine, coupled with a strengthening low level thermal ridge, will result in above normal temperatures today.
Current radar and visible satellite imagery showing an upper level trough digging through the PacNW and continuing to progress east into ID. Precipitation chances through the remainder of the day will stay on the low end except for the Cascades and Blues, which should taper off through the evening hours.
High pressure will continue to move east of the FA. A dry but fairly strong cold front will move across the forecast area by mid morning. Along with the fropa will obviously come much cooler highs.
Areas east of Tucson will be on the higher end of this range, and a Red Flag Warning is in effect through 8 pm MST this evening. Minimum RH values will continue to be low with most lower elevation locales in the single digits and mountains locales in the low teens.
128 PM EDT Thu Apr 8 2021 An approaching warm front will bring rain showers and isolated storms to the region today. With an approaching warm front, warm and moist advection will be observed throughout the day. Scattered rain showers will come to an end Friday morning as the aforementioned warm front propagates northeastward, allowing some clearing and the chance for instability to build. Long range models indicate another low pressure system will move newd through the Great Lakes late this weekend. This could bring another warm frontal propagation, continue above climatological warmth, and provide another chance for showers and thunderstorms. Clouds will continue to increase this afternoon with the approach and passage of a warm front. Ceiling will slowly lower with time, eventually reaching MVFR levels overnight as the low levels continue to moisten.
450 PM EDT Thu Apr 8 2021 The latest surface map features low pressure centered across northern Iowa, with a surface cold front aligned east and then south across the Ohio Valley and into the Tennessee Valley. Aloft, a well-defined upper level low is currently pivoting near the Iowa/Missouri/Illinois border, with a vorticity lobe swinging through Kentucky/Tennessee. Convection has fired up ahead of the cold front this afternoon, with a broken line of convection moving into eastern Kentucky. The models are in decent agreement through the short term, with the upper level low to exit and dampen to the north through Friday.
Onshore winds are returning to the area today, and this is helping to boost temperatures into the low to mid 80s. For now, will continue to keep shower and thunderstorm chances in the forecast with the higher numbers Friday evening through Friday night.
136 PM EDT Thu Apr 8 2021 An upper level ridge will pass over Pennsylvania today.
Upper low over NW MO will end up over NRN IL by 00 UTC.
There seems to be a warm front somewhere around Hickman to Williams to Coffee to Warren to Cumberland. Along and south of the warm front is the best instability with LI's around -3 and CAPE around 500 J/KG. As the cold front moves through this afternoon will continue to watch the eastern half of Middle TN for strong to severe storms. Passage of a cold front will create gusty SSW winds with some gusts over 25KT after 15Z.
1118 AM MDT Thu Apr 8 2021 The upper level trough that moved across the region yesterday has deepened quite impressively with a negative tilt over the central CONUS looking at GOES-16 imagery and cloud cover extending as far west as eastern Nebraska. Looking over the PacNW is the approaching trough that move across the region tonight with the chance for precipitation and cooler temperatures for Friday.
/Tonight through Friday Night/ Confidence: High Upper level low will slowly decay as it tracks north in the next 24 to 36 hours. Though cooler air will continue to swing around the base of the upper level trough as well, cloud cover tonight will at least prevent the region from falling anymore than the 40s for our area. As the low continues to drift north and fill over Minnesota tomorrow afternoon, we should see a gradual decrease in clouds south and west. Highs Friday will be held back to the lower to mid 50s north while the south reaches the upper 50s to lower/mid 60s.
On Friday, a progressive moving cold front sweeps from northwest to southeast across the state during the late morning and afternoon. Temps in this portion of the CWA are on the cooler side of the front with readings falling to the lower 60s. The tight temp gradient spreads into the lower 70s over far east central KS, just ahead of the boundary during the late afternoon.
Soon the cooler air to our south will move in an stabilize things (by early evening). - Scattered showers Friday Friday will see upper low continue to track to the north northeast but it will still be in our area through the day.
Highs this afternoon have climbed into the 80s for most locations, with a few locations in the lower 90s. West winds will increase to 15 to 20 mph, with higher gusts, with afternoon highs topping out in the low to mid 90s. A cold front will approach the northern Big Country late Friday afternoon or early evening, which will usher in cooler temperatures and gusty north winds.
A strong low pressure system follows this weekend with widespread rain expected. Tightly wound upper low over nrn MO will drift north into ne WI by Fri aftn. This is associated with potent upstream disturbance over the nrn Rockies this aftn which amplifies through base of midwest centered upper trough and results in robust/deep upper low development over the wrn OH valley by Sun. Much cooler yet seasonable temps follow Sun-Wed.
A cold front will move across the forecast area today with gusty NW winds developing behind it. To the east, the cold front will be late enough in the afternoon for warm temperatures and low RH to develop today ahead of the front. The gusty NW winds in the late afternoon and early evening will combine with the low RH to create critical fire weather conditions. Moisture will move into the area this afternoon and evening on SW flow aloft ahead of an upper trough the will move eastern Montana late tonight and Friday morning.
A stronger storm is possible, most likely near CHA, with damaging winds and hail as the highest threats.
1140 AM EDT Thu Apr 8 2021 An approaching warm front will bring rain showers and isolated storms to the region today. With an approaching warm front, warm and moist advection will be observed throughout the day. Scattered rain showers will come to an end Friday morning as the aforementioned warm front propagates northeastward, allowing some clearing and the chance for instability to build. Long range models indicate another low pressure system will move newd through the Great Lakes late this weekend. This could bring another warm frontal propagation, continue above climatological warmth, and provide another chance for showers and thunderstorms. An approaching warm front will bring lowering/thickening clouds this afternoon. Periodic showers and restrictions with isolated thunder are possible into tomorrow as low pressure sits near the western Great Lakes.
Latest sfc analysis places the cold front along the I-65 corridor, evident by southwest winds and a scattered cu field. Expect temps to bottom out in the low 50s across the region. Max temps will likely reach the low 80s, just shy of 20 degrees above normal.
To its south gusty southwest winds have advected cooler and drier air through the entire region today.
359 PM EDT Thu Apr 8 2021 High pressure will move offshore tonight.
High pressure will be the dominant weather feature for the foreseeable future bringing above normal daytime temperatures and typical springtime breezes each afternoon. Starting to see some gusts pick up mostly across the higher terrain. Expect the winds to increase by noon with gusts to 35mph along and east of ridges, peaks and plateaus. A trough over the Pacific Northwest will continue to dig southward over the Rockies passing to our north. Weak moisture that has moved in across the area is quickly swept out behind this system with the return of northwest flow and a building ridge. Friday through the weekend, ridging off the Pacific coast will be the main weather maker. Confidence remains low on anything other than periods of gusty winds and cooler temperatures.
315 PM CDT Thu Apr 8 2021 An upper level low continued to spin over Missouri this afternoon with cloud cover slowly lifting north and showers across central Missouri doing the same. However, where clouds and rain remained across central Missouri, temps struggled to make it into the lower 50s. AS the low lifts to the north tonight, cloud cover and rain will follow along. As the upper low slides into the central plains, showers and thunderstorms will spread north into the Ozarks Friday afternoon as moisture and warm air advection continues.
306 PM CDT Thu Apr 8 2021 Cloudy, cool and somewhat damp conditions have set in over the region courtesy of a large upper low see on satellite imagery churning over northeast Missouri this afternoon. A lobe of vorticity rotating around the east side of the low was triggering a band of showers seen on radar in an arc from Burlington to Peoria at 2pm, spreading northward. After the initial band of showers lifts through this evening, additional rounds of mostly light rain showers or drizzle will be triggered by the upper low and additional weak impulses that encircling it. Friday, showers and drizzle will continue through the morning, then advance northward to mainly north of highway 30 by afternoon as the weakening upper low lifts into upper Michigan.
A few isolated showers may be possible Friday night across the Victoria Crossroads as a cold front approaches the area.
Meanwhile, we remain just on the western periphery of an upper level ridge. This ridge is getting pinched by a potent upper level trough situated near the Lower Missouri River Valley. Meanwhile, an upper level trough is slowly moving eastward over Mexico. This upper level trough has been providing the island chain with the high cirrus that has streamed in overhead at times. Temperatures warmed up in the lower 80s across the Middle and Lower Keys, while holding firm to upper 70s to near 80 degrees across the Upper Keys. It is evident that we have been under the influence of a southeast flow as dew points have remained in the lower to mid 60s, as opposed to falling into the upper 50s to near 60 this time yesterday.
Issued by National Weather Service Goodland KS 236 PM MDT Thu Apr 8 2021 Latest upper air analysis shows a long wave trough over the western half of the CONUS. Within the long wave trough were two short wave troughs, one over the Northwest CONUS and the other over the Central Plains. Northwest winds were breezy over the Plains behind the second trough. Friday a cold front will move through the forecast area during the morning. Despite the cooler temperatures behind the front, there is a fire weather concern for zones 224, 222, and 228.
