Aikyam-Lab/Synoptic-Bench huggingface dataset:
629 PM CDT MON SEP 19 2016 A warm front will develop across the southern and western portions of the CWA overnight with a low level jet setting up just to our south. 850mb winds are initially close to 40kts, however by the time we see mixing, the core of strongest winds will have moved east and generally will see light winds as low pressure moves just north of I90. When the period opens Tuesday night, there is expected to be a warm front south of the cwa.
A building ridge bring above normal temperatures into our region for the remainder of the work week. A back door cold front the west should provide some more seasonable temperatures for part of the weekend.
744 PM EDT MON SEP 19 2016 Latest SPC RAP based mesoanalyses suggests the corridor of instability that had been in place immediately ahead of the cold frontal boundary has become effectively pinched off. Given the progressive push of the high cloud did introduce a bkn deck this evening. * None A warm afternoon as temperatures have climbed into the lower 80s, but dew pts are not terribly high, predominately in the upper 50s. Mainly dry cold front to slowly sink south through southeast Michigan Tonight/Tomorrow morning as upper wave lifts northeast into Ontario, with zero height falls extending south of over southern Lower Michigan. Narrowing/pinched off 850-700 mb Theta-e ridge axis extending from the midwest, with showalter index telling the tale, going from slightly negative this afternoon over northern lower Michigan, to decidedly positive as the front sinks south overnight.
Weak high pressure and rising mid level heights will keep conditions dry through mid week.
731 PM EDT Mon Sep 19 2016 High pressure over the southern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions will provide mainly tranquil weather through the week with above normal temperatures. Lows tonight will dip into the upper 50s to lower 60s and highs on Tuesday will reach into the lower 80s. Weakening cold front on southern fringe of high zonal flow near the US/Canada border will sink into northwest IN/lower MI later tonight, then wash out across northern IN on Tuesday.
1) Only weather concern in the short term will be focused in northeast Missouri as a cold front, currently located over central Iowa, slides south this evening into tonight.
Winds become northeasterly Tuesday morning at 6-8kts due to high pressure centered over the Great Lakes.
1010 PM EDT MON SEP 19 2016 A weak cold front will merge with a trough off the southeast coast tonight. This trough will linger near the coast through much of the week and a chance of showers and thunderstorms will continue. As of late this evening, water vapor imagery depicts an upper trough axis shifting over the area. This trough will develop into a cut-off low later tonight and linger over the area. Meanwhile, the low level circulation associated with the remnants of former tropical cyclone Julia remains off the southern NC coast and a surface front/trough extending out along the back side of the low has pushed south into the CSRA and will drop south of the area later tonight.
917 PM CDT MON SEP 19 2016 Surface cold front continues to slowly sag south through the forecast area, extending roughly from Freeport through Clinton to Iowa city, as evident by a fineline on KDVN radar at 02z. Light winds and clearing skies as weak high pressure builds in behind the front will again support fog, especially across the highway 20 corridor and the NW forecast area that actually saw rain today. Overnight through Tuesday evening should by dry as high pressure briefly noses in.
1049 PM EDT Mon Sep 19 2016 High pressure will linger over the Ohio Valley through the work week. Some high level cirrus will try to make its way in from the northwest, but this should thin some as it descends southeast within a mid level ridge axis. Some locations, especially across central and east central Ohio, will drop into the lower 50s. Most locations will see mid to upper 50s, although a few lower 60s may be found across parts of Kentucky, especially at ridge tops. High pressure will continue to travel gradually northeast across the Great Lakes to New England, riding a westerly upper flow on the northern fringe of a broad ridge aloft.
The arrival of a cold front from the north late in the weekend will bring the next chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms. Clear skies continue to prevail with high pressure in place. Quiet night on tap as the high remain parked over the Ohio Valley. Cold front currently over the upper Midwest will drift E/SE into the Great Lakes and extend back into Iowa and Missouri this evening into the overnight. Forecast challenges are few through the period as high pressure at the surface and aloft continue to influence warm dry weather across the Ohio Valley.
906 PM EDT MON SEP 19 2016 High pressure over the area will weaken some late tonight to allow a weak cold front to move southeast across the region early Tuesday. High pressure will return for the second half of the work week. The band of convection with the cold front is dissipating as expected over southern lake michigan. The weakening cold front will cross the local area tomorrow. After that high pressure will dominate through the end of the period.
902 PM EDT MON SEP 19 2016 A weak cold front will merge with a trough off the southeast coast tonight. This trough will linger near the coast through much of the week and a chance of showers and thunderstorms will continue. As of early this evening, water vapor imagery depicts the axis of an upper level trough approaching from the west. Meanwhile, the low level circulation associated with the remnants of former tropical cyclone Julia lingers off the Cape Fear coast and a surface front/trough extending out along the back side of the low is making southward progress through the northern and eastern Midlands. As the night progresses, the upper trough will develop into a cut-off low and linger over the region.
800 PM MDT MON SEP 19 2016 Broad upper-level ridging will give way to very quiet weather during the next several days.
A warm front will develop across the southern and western portions of the CWA overnight with a low level jet setting up just to our south. 850mb winds are initially close to 40kts, however by the time we see mixing, the core of strongest winds will have moved east and generally will see light winds as low pressure moves just north of I90. When the period opens Tuesday night, there is expected to be a warm front south of the cwa.
Showers/storms gradually weakening now but will likely linger overnight as upper trough pushes into the area providing lift.
Current thinking is that the strong ridge of high pressure aloft will remain stagnant over the region and temperatures will remain elevated. High pressure aloft will keep hot and dry weather in place. /issued 249 PM CDT MON SEP 19 2016/ SHORT TERM (Today through Tuesday): A broad 500mb ridge centered over the Texas Big Bend and extending overhead will remain nearly in place through the forecast period.
530 PM MDT MON SEP 19 2016 Broad upper-level ridging will give way to very quiet weather during the next several days.
(Issued 926 PM CDT Mon Sep 19 2016) Quiet night taking shape across the TN Valley, as high pressure begins to build across the region. Temperatures generally remained in the low to mid 70s, with a few spots remaining in the upper 70s.
A flattened upper ridge over New Mexico is producing west- southwesterly flow over Colorado with unseasonably warm and dry weather under mostly clear skies. Warm advection and weak enhancement in drainage winds tonight will allow for much warmer than normal lows tonight. This will keep temperatures over the mountains and over the southern urban corridor similar or cooler than today's readings, where the northeastern plains will be warmer. An upper level ridge over Texas will bring SW flow over the state.
KMSN may drop to IFR or lower for a time, but confidence low due to influx of drier air in the low levels from the north. Showers/storms will wind down late this evening in the southeast, with dry weather overnight as high pressure quickly moves in. It should be a very nice day Tuesday, with mostly sunny skies expected under high pressure.
723 PM EDT Mon Sep 19 2016 High pressure will linger over the Ohio Valley through the work week. Surface analysis shows 1019 mb high pressure centered to the southwest. The high is aligned along the axis of a building upper level ridge pointing towards Dayton. As the high translates slowly northeast across the area tonight, the dry airmass and downward motion evident with the high will prevent precip from occurring. High pressure will continue to travel gradually northeast across the Great Lakes to New England, riding a westerly upper flow on the northern fringe of a broad ridge aloft.
/issued 244 PM CDT MON SEP 19 2016/ Clear skies were in place across most of the region this afternoon, indicative of the subsidence occurring underneath a 500 HPa ridge that was centered over El Paso on the 12Z upper-air analysis. The ridge has slowly been shifting northeast with time and will continue to do so through tomorrow. The center of the ridge should have shifted to over North Texas and Oklahoma by tomorrow afternoon which will allow a plume of mid-level moisture being thrown off of Hurricane Paine in the Pacific to push closer to the region. The Rolling Plains will see more sunshine and with the proximity to the center of the ridge, subsidence and abundant insolation could bump highs back into the mid to upper 90s.
1135 PM EDT MON SEP 19 2016 The dynamics overall are very weak along a cold front slipping into the region as mean flow is parallel to the boundary. This will cause subsidence to overwhelm the the column and and lead to rapid development of a surface anticyclone. * None A warm afternoon as temperatures have climbed into the lower 80s, but dew pts are not terribly high, predominately in the upper 50s. Mainly dry cold front to slowly sink south through southeast Michigan Tonight/Tomorrow morning as upper wave lifts northeast into Ontario, with zero height falls extending south of over southern Lower Michigan. Narrowing/pinched off 850-700 mb Theta-e ridge axis extending from the midwest, with showalter index telling the tale, going from slightly negative this afternoon over northern lower Michigan, to decidedly positive as the front sinks south overnight.
1155 PM CDT Mon Sep 19 2016 1) Only weather concern in the short term will be focused in northeast Missouri as a cold front, currently located over central Iowa, slides south this evening into tonight.
911 PM CDT MON SEP 19 2016 High pressure to remain over the region next few days. With the center of the high located over OH, a northeasterly fetch is expected.
High pressure aloft will keep hot and dry weather in place. /issued 249 PM CDT MON SEP 19 2016/ SHORT TERM (Today through Tuesday): A broad 500mb ridge centered over the Texas Big Bend and extending overhead will remain nearly in place through the forecast period.
A trough of low pressure will be digging south over the next couple of days producing a cooling trend the next several days.
744 PM EDT Mon Sep 19 2016 High pressure will result in dry and warm conditions through the week.
Quiet night taking shape across the TN Valley, as high pressure begins to build across the region. Temperatures generally remained in the low to mid 70s, with a few spots remaining in the upper 70s.
645 PM CDT MON SEP 19 2016 Continued dry conditions through Tuesday as high pressure remains over the region. Plenty of warm air advection through the night and into Tuesday will allow temperatures to remain warmer than average. Any cloud cover could potentially limit the amount of heating these locations will see and therefore lower the high temperatures.
937 PM EDT MON SEP 19 2016 Update A weak cold front will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to areas north of I-96 tonight, and only isolated precipitation to areas along and south of I-96.
917 PM EDT Mon Sep 19 2016 High pressure will result in dry and warm conditions through the week.
1252 AM EDT Tue Sep 20 2016 High pressure will result in dry and warm weather for the rest of the week. Near term high temperatures are progged about 10 degrees above the averages with this flat-ridge pattern. Minimal change to the long wave pattern is progged through midweek with flat ridging dominating the Great Lakes and Upper Ohio Regions. Model exhibit for the weekend is of and amplified patter with development of a Mississippi Valley Ridge and East Coast trough, resulting in northwest flow over the Upper Ohio Region. That scenario would maintain generally dry weather and trend temperature back toward the averages depending on position of the ridge.
Surface cold front continues to slowly sag south through the forecast area, extending roughly from Freeport through Clinton to Iowa city, as evident by a fine line on KDVN radar at 02z. Light winds and clearing skies as weak high pressure builds in behind the front will again support fog, especially across the highway 20 corridor and the NW forecast area that actually saw rain today. Overnight through Tuesday evening should by dry as high pressure briefly noses in.
714 PM EDT MON SEP 19 2016 High pressure will linger over the region tonight. A weak cold front will cross the region early Tuesday. High pressure will return for the second half of the work week. There may be a slight increase in clouds toward daybreak in the north as a weakening cold front approaches. The weakening cold front will cross the local area tomorrow. After that high pressure will dominate through the end of the period.
429 PM PDT Mon Sep 19 2016 Cool and unsettled weather is expected for the first part of the work week as a large area of low pressure slowly moves through the region.
Upper ridging is expected to maintain across the southern Plains through Tue. There is good agreement between the ECMWF and GFS that a sharp upper trough will dig across the Central Great Basin Thu into Thu night. Normal highs for this time of year are in the low 80s. In addition, both the GFS and ECMWF retrograde the closed low slightly for the end of the weekend into the start of the work week. At this time, the best chances for rain through this forecast package look to be Sat night through Sun night, when upper diffluence from the closed upper low may impact our forecast area. Wind speeds will increase across the area on Tuesday as low pressure deepens across the Rockies.
High pressure to remain over the region next few days. With the center of the high located over OH, a northeasterly fetch is expected.
647 PM CDT Mon Sep 19 2016 1) Only weather concern in the short term will be focused in northeast Missouri as a cold front, currently located over central Iowa, slides south this evening into tonight.
Broad area of low pressure off the coast of the Carolinas will keep a relatively weak westerly flow over the region into tonight. Low pressure off the Carolina coast will keep a relatively light W/SW windflow over the waters into tonight, with seas ranging from 1-2 feet.
In the middle and upper levels(700-200 mb), latest available IR imagery overlaid with model streamline analysis as of 900 am depict the center of a middle and upper level high pressure system centered over NW Old Mexico with an attendant middle and upper level anticyclonic axis that extends across the breadth of the Gulf to across South Florida. At the surface and in the lower to middle levels,(Surface to 700 mb), weak near 1020 mb high pressure is up over the Ohio Valley. Closer to the Keys, the remnant low pressure of Julia is on the South Carolina Coast. Broad weak surface ridging is in place across the Florida Keys and a surface/850 mb trough is near the Northern Bahamas.
Proton Previous Discussion Flattened ridging will make for mostly clear skies, and near seasonal temperatures tonight into Tuesday. Late Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night a low pressure system over the pacific northwest will begin to advect moisture along a quasi- stationary boundary over northeast Montana.
902 PM EDT MON SEP 19 2016 High pressure in the eastern Gulf of Mexico will hold control of the weather over central and southwest Florida. Temperatures will remain near seasonal averages through the week with daytime highs in the upper 80s to low 90s and overnight lows in the low to mid 70s. High pressure in the eastern Gulf of Mexico will keep a light west through northwest winds 10 knots or less.
The HRRR details the highest reflectivitys commencing during this time.
