COOLER AIR WILL SETTLE INTO THE AREA THIS WEEKEND IN THE WAKE OF FRIDAYS COLD FRONT.
210 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 High pressure for the the weekend.
134 PM EDT Sat Jun 25 2016 High pressure will dominate the weekend as quiet weather and warming temperatures move in.
A cold front will be moving into the region from the northwest as the period starts.
An upper low was gradually lifting off to the north and east into North Dakota and southern Canada this afternoon. Even though temperatures were a good 10 to 15 degrees cooler today than yesterday, afternoon RH values across the area have ranged from the upper teens to the upper 20s. Low temperatures tonight will range from the lower 40s to lower 50s.
255 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 High pressure over the eastern Great Lakes and New England will move slowly east to the coast by Sunday morning. This will allow A cold front to move east across the area Sunday night.
This as high pressure in place aloft gives way to a deepening east CONUS trof.
Models show high pressure building and moving back west. The flow pattern really starts to look good later in the week as hghts fall and the high consolidates over New Mexico. Dry air aloft to cover most of northern Arizona today, and limit limit shower and thunderstorm coverage to the higher terrain in Apache county and along the Mogollon Rim.
Frontal passage has not done much to knock down temps over the lower Arkansas this afternoon, with highs currently in the mid 90s in Pueblo County. Rose An upper level ridge will be building over the state Sun night and into Mon. On Tue the upper ridge remains ovr the area and there is expected to be another round of showers/tstm in the afternoon and evening ovr the hyr trrn. The upper level ridge wl be centered ovr ern UT and wrn CO. Then Thu night another disturbance is forecast to move down the front side of the upper level ridge ovr CO and wrn KS which may keep pcpn chances in the forecast thru much of the night.
1216 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 18Z TAF Cycle An upper trough over the central and southern Rockies today will allow for scattered convection to develop this afternoon into tonight across the northwestern portions of the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. Coverage should decrease overnight slowly as instability decreases, although we kept low probabilities late in the night through Sunday morning given presence of convergent surface boundary, convective outflow and increasing large scale ascent from approaching upper low from the south. As diurnal destabilization occurs on Sunday coincident with the northern edge of upper low, thunderstorm coverage will be higher across most of the area, not just the northwest as has been the case in prior days.
(Issued 1052 AM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016) Just like yesterday, this morning started off warm with temperatures in the lower 70s. However, with less cloud cover today, current temps have jumped up into the lower 90s in NW AL and the mid 80s in southern middle TN where there are some clouds. With this observation, adjusted cloud cover, hourly temps and slightly increased the highs for today as well. NW AL could reach the upper 90s with the lower 90s back in NE AL. The boundary combined with daytime heating and a weak disturbance rounding the upper-level ridge this afternoon could lead to a few showers and thunderstorms.
229 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 Cold front quickly moving west to east across the area and had cleared Interstate 29 rigth around 18z. This area will not see humidity that low, but the drier air will see dew points fall about 15 to 20 degrees below the highest readings today, which will make for a very nice Sunday.
Thunderstorms are likely across portions of western and central Kansas tonight as short range models indicate an attendant frontal boundary to the closed off upper low to our north pushing further southeast across southwest and central Kansas during the period. Areas of precip and slightly cooler air filtering southward into western Kansas behind the advancing weak frontal boundary will drop lows down into the 60s(F) tonight with a few lower 70s(F) still possible in south central Kansas. A mid-upper level anticyclone will become established across the climatological location of the Four Corners for this time of year, but the anticyclone will be fairly flat with moderate WNW or NW flow (by late June standards) across the Central/Northern Rockies into the adjacent High Plains.
As the ridge slides east, a southerly return flow will begin on Sunday allowing more moisture into the area.
303 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 High pressure for the the weekend.
/issued 945 AM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016/ Skies around the Mid-South are mostly clear this morning with temperatures ranging from the lower to upper 80's at 9:30 AM.
Mid and high level clouds will linger over the region tonight but drier air in the low levels will diminish rain chances for tonight. Difluent upper level flow will remain over South Texas to the southeast of the low.
625 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 High pressure will build in from the north tonight and Sunday. A cold front will slowly move into the region by mid week and linger in the vicinity with waves of low pressure moving across it through late in the week. High pressure will build over the area from the north with NE flow prevailing. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s.
High Models are in pretty good agreement that a line of thunderstorms will hold together pretty well tonight as a trough swings through the area. The main line of storms will likely exit the southeast early Sunday morning, though a few showers and storms may linger southeast into late morning or early afternoon until the trough clears the area. The northwest forecast area will have more sunshine, so confidence is higher in the warmer temps there.
440 PM MDT SAT JUN 25 2016 The cold front that moved through NE Utah and NW Colorado last evening stalled somewhere on the Bookcliffs or near the I-70 corridor this morning.
Went a little cooler tomorrow due to easterly winds and lingering cloud cover much like today. Scattered thunderstorms will continue Sunday night associated with a weak disturbance rotating around the upper ridge centered over the southern Rockies. An upper ridge centered near the Four Corners area and trough near the Great Lakes will result in northwest flow aloft across the central High Plains. A cold front is in the process of moving through the area.
Latest water vapor imagery has upper low centered over the Big Bend region of Texas, with well advertised stream of fairly deep tropical moisture from the southwest corner of the Gulf right along the coast through the Valley, then extending into central Texas. GFS/NAM/ECMWF keep the upper core in place across the Big Bend, but rebuild the 500 mb ridge from northeast to southwest across the western Gulf and with that usher in drier layers above the soupy surface. The combination of ridging and drier air will reduce coverage of showers/storms on Sunday, but can't rule out the possibility with just enough moisture left behind and more sunshine, as well as a bit more of a sea breeze with lighter (but still non-zero) winds especially Sunday morning.
240 PM CDT Sat Jun 25 2016 At 2 pm, surface analysis had a cold front extending from far northwest MN through eastern SD. Looking for storms to fire quickly along the cold front across northwest MN into eastern SD this afternoon, then move southeast into the region by 8 pm (from north central WI into southeast MN/northeast IA). Sunday night looks to be a comfortable night with lows falling into the upper 50s to the lower 60s.
316 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 Warm and dry weather will continue this weekend as high pressure controls our weather.
Hot and dry weather returns as strong high pressure builds over Nevada.
143 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 Large high pressure ridge extending across the northeast U.
1219 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 At H5 closed low over the Gulf of Alaska. Fairly strong closed low over Montana this morning creating weather from the central into the northern plains. Weak ridge ahead of this system through the Mississippi Valley and a trough from the Hudson Bay low into the east coast. Highs today in the low 80s and lows tonight in the 50s to around 60.
107 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 Isolated thunderstorms firing along dewpoint/warm front over western Middle Tennessee early this afternoon, and heading east at about 10 mph. Latest HRRR suggests we could get some isolated thunderstorms working their way into the CKV-BNA area this afternoon, as storms fire near warm front and head northeast.
103 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 High pressure over the eastern Great Lakes will move slowly east to the New England coast by Sunday morning. This will allow a warm front to lift northeast across the area today. A cold front will move east across the area Sunday evening. High pressure will be the dominating weather feature through the day. As high pressure begins to move east of the region, expecting weak warm air advection to take place today at the surface. Highs today will be warmer than yesterday due to the warm air advection beginning to develop. High pressure remains in control tonight as it moves east of the area.
334 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 The upper level low spinning its way out of Mexico this afternoon is hard to miss on water vapor imagery, as it's diverting monsoonal moisture well into the northern Central Plains. For today, high pressure to the east and the low to the south will work in tandem to quash rain chances. Therefore, with increased moisture and cloud cover tomorrow, highs, especially on the Caprock, look to be a few degrees cooler than today. The high pressure center also takes a jog east into the ArkLaTex, helping with those temperatures, too.
255 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 19z/2pm surface analysis continues to show an ill-defined warm front extending from southeast Minnesota into southwest Illinois. Meanwhile, cold front currently across the Plains will begin to slowly approach from the northwest overnight. Thunderstorms should then redevelop just ahead of an approaching cold front tomorrow afternon and progress southeast during the afternoon and early evening.
310 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 High pressure will build in from the north this tonight and Sunday. A cold front will slowly move into the region by mid week and linger in the vicinity with waves of low pressure moving across it through late in the week. High pressure will build over the area from the north with NE flow prevailing. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s.
Surface wise, a narrow ridge is draped across North Central Florida and the adjacent waters, resulting in east to southeast winds of around 10 knots except slightly higher on the Florida Straits.
300 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 The subtropical high remains in place over the mid-south this afternoon, generally centered over the lower Mississippi valley. As the upper high retrogrades into the ArkLaTex Sunday, a weak wedge front will push westward into northeast Alabama.
Thus despite the low dewpoints overnight lows should remain mainly in the 50s with a persistent mixing wind in place. For Sunday, wrap around moisture and some mid level forcing in the wake of the low will see another round of diurnally driven showers mainly across the north during daylight hours.
High pressure will build over the region through Sunday.
134 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 High pressure in place across the region will provide for mainly sunny skies and seasonably warm temperatures today.
330 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 High pressure will extend from the Northeast coast through the Mid- Atlantic for the remainder of the weekend.
207 PM PDT SAT JUN 25 2016 The upcoming week be much warmer with summer-like conditions.
106 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 Subtle warm front has lifted into central Missouri this morning where a few showers and isolated thunderstorms have developed along this feature. With a bit of warm air advection this afternoon, temperatures will rise into the lower to middle 90s across the forecast area. Cold front entering northern Nebraska will slowly drop southward through the day, reaching northwest Missouri early Sunday morning. Cold front will slowly sag southward on Sunday, reaching the I-70 corridor by Sunday evening.
306 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 Primary large scale features from this mornings 12z upper air charts included a closed low at 500 mb over southern Saskatchewan and a jet max of around 100 knots at 300 mb over northwest Wyoming. 12 hour height falls at 500 mb were around 120 meters south of the closed low. Primary thermal ridge at 700 mb extended from west Texas up into central South Dakota. Southwest flow in our area ahead of the approaching cold front had shifted best 850 mb moisture east of our area into the central and eastern portions of Minnesota and Iowa. coverage of storms into early evening may be mostly tied to the cold front pushing through the region.
1127 AM MDT SAT JUN 25 2016 Upper low is moving along the Canadian border through MT, with a 90kt jet rounding the base of the trough. Upper low will shift eastward today, and the focus of the strong winds will then be across northwestern SD, along an area of tighter pressure gradient and beneath the upper jet. Highs will be much cooler, in the mid 70s to mid 80s. Rather unsettled conditions are expected early to mid week with a flat ridge over the nrn Rockies.
547 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 Cold front quickly moving west to east across the area and had cleared Interstate 29 right around 18z. This area will not see humidity that low, but the drier air will see dew points fall about 15 to 20 degrees below the highest readings today, which will make for a very nice Sunday.
334 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 A TUTT, Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough, can be seen on satellite imagery east of the Big Bend over the northern part of the Mexican state of Coahuila. An upper level ridge that extended from New Mexico east- southeastward across Mississippi to northern Florida this afternoon is expected to shift northwestward into the Intermountain West during the next several days.
415 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 An upper level low is spinning over the Big Bend area. At the surface, a trough and a weak frontal boundary are converging across Southeastern Colorado/Southwestern Kansas.
VFR conditions will prevail through the period with high pressure ridge aloft still the dominant feature.
359 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 High pressure will extend from the Northeast coast through the Mid- Atlantic for the remainder of the weekend.
251 PM MDT SAT JUN 25 2016 The cold front that moved through NE Utah and NW Colorado last evening stalled somewhere on the Bookcliffs or near the I-70 corridor this morning.
434 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 High pressure over the eastern United States will continue to nose into the Ohio Valley tonight. Surface flow will turn southerly ahead of the next cold front that will cross the region Sunday night.
157 PM EDT SAT JUN 25 2016 Warm and dry weather will continue this weekend as high pressure controls our weather.
The weather across much of the Northern Rockies has improved from what we saw yesterday, as the low pressure that brought rain and wind to the region continues to push further eastward. Locations across northwestern Montana should continue to see mostly cloud conditions this afternoon, that will keep afternoon highs noticeable cooler compared to areas around Missoula and points south through central Idaho.
A weak upper low will move slowly northwest into the Texas Big Bend region this afternoon and evening, and then drift north into the Trans-Pecos area on Sunday. Otherwise, look for another dry 24 hours, with highs this afternoon in the lower to mid 90s and lows tonight in the lower to mid 70s.
Heat and humidity will return today with temperatures climbing into the lower 90s by the afternoon.
240 PM EDT Sat Jun 25 2016 High pressure will build overhead through Sunday. High pressure will move off the coast Sunday night.
Clear skies across the region this afternoon as subsidence associated with the ridge covers the area. Temperatures are warming up and are running about 5-10 degrees warmer compared to 24 hours ago, generally in the 70s and 80s in the mountains and 90s across the Central Valley.
