Sunday Night Through Saturday The upper flow tilting northwest will bring a seasonably strong and rather large anticyclone south from Canada. The high will linger across the area for several days. The temperature and humidity may begin to creep up late in the period as the high shifts off to the east. for 18Z TAF Issuance Main items for the taf issuance is on track of second line of thunderstorms and potential for wake low pressure winds post 21Z.
336 PM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019 The main surface front separating oppressive heat/humidity to the south and cooler/stable air to the north is now draped over southern MI across the WI/IL border and continuing west through IA and NE. This front will continue to drift off to the southeast while a secondary cold front washes out over the area tonight into Sunday morning. This will allow for any remaining areas of showers/thunderstorms to move away to the east and to have a scouring out of moisture from the low-to-mid levels. A weak mid- level disturbance will try to push east late day tomorrow into tomorrow night, on the leading edge of an incoming ridge, so there will be little upper support and moisture available to produce any precipitation but a few isolated rain showers cannot be ruled out over central MN.
1150 AM MDT Sat Jul 20 2019 Water vapor continues to show west to east oriented trof along the Canadian border. The main upper low associated with trof along the Canadian border is expected to move slowly east across far northern MT tonight and far northern ND on Sunday.
A small, but tightly closed upper level low pressure system will move from west to east overnight tonight and into Sunday morning along the international border. ---BMickelson Previous discussion: Synoptic Setup: To the south, hot high pressure lies bottled up over the Four Corners. North of this, a series of troughs and ridges of relatively cooler air run from the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia through northern Montana and the Canadian Prairies. Today through tonight: A dip in the flow will briefly bring cooler conditions and an isolated chance for showers across the far northern and southern zones. Meanwhile, the the hot air to the south will bulge northward over Nevada into Idaho and place northeast Montana under northwest flow with an increasing ridge influence.
While a ridge of high pressure to our northwest slowly builds across the Dakotas through Sunday night, we will have one last 500mb wave to deal with. Instability looks limited, with the higher CAPE values (still around 500J/kg or less) mainly just in the afternoon hours over our eastern- northeastern counties. Strong ridging centered over the Rockies is expected to persist through much of the period, but get dampened by s/w energy over time.
237 PM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019 An upper level ridge of high pressure from the plains to the Ohio Valley will be the dominant weather feature through the weekend resulting in much above normal temperatures.
204 PM EDT Sat Jul 20 2019 Update/Aviation/Hydro - One more day of excessive heat - More storms possible today, possibly severe - Cooler weather beginning Sunday. A cold front will move south today and put an end to the oppressive heat, but also generate more storms. The threat for storms will end tonight as the cold front moves through. Cooler and much drier air will then begin to move over the state.
212 PM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019 Relief from the heat isn't far away but we will have to endure triple digit heat today with the center of the upper level ridge overhead.
Afternoon temperatures will be warmer today, compared to the past couple days, but still slightly below normal. The ridge of high pressure we've been watching the past several days, will begin to build over the Northern Rockies tomorrow.
A thunderstorm or two appears likely, especially north of the lower Keys where a surface convergence zone appears to be setting up off cloud streamers from the islands.
Still expect highs to climb into the low 90s with Heat Index Values near to just above 100.
332 PM EDT Sat Jul 20 2019 Marine - Strong to severe storms into early tonight - Cooler Sunday with a chance of showers and thunderstorms south - Mostly dry and much cooler most of this coming week The short story is we have considerable instability today and a severe thunderstorm watch. Beyond that the upper level eastern trough comes back into play so cooler and dry weather is expected most of this coming week. Some short waves rotating into the eastern trough may bring a few showers mid week and later in the week. Storms are expected this evening then high pressure rules most of this coming week.
Sunday will be similar to today across western and central Wyoming, with lower elevations ranging from the 70s to the lower 80s, while higher elevations reach the 60s to near 70.
Current temperatures along the I-80 summit are in the upper 60s which is at the same temperatures as the lower elevations. This could put a lid on convection in the lower elevations this afternoon. However, if a rogue storm or two can develop over the higher elevations where the convective inhibition will be less then the storms may have a better chance of getting rooted and become surface based and take advantage of the deep layer shear and become severe. Surface cold front moving south over northeast Wy and SD currently and will pass across the CWA this morning bringing an end to the hot temperatures of the last few days.
241 PM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019 (Today and Tonight) Upper level high pressure will continue to dominate West Central Texas Weather tonight and Sunday, resulting in sunny, dry and hot weather again on Sunday.
333 PM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019 Upper level disturbances will top the western United States upper level ridge and then move across the northern plains tonight/Sunday and then again by July 27-29th time frame. These systems will push cold fronts pass western Kansas, along with chances for thunderstorms. A cold front will pass across western Kansas tonight into Sunday in association with the aforementioned upper level disturbance. Warmest readings should be in south central Kansas in the lower 90s, with cooler lower 80s in Scott City.
The south central Missouri Ozarks are a little cooler, but not much.
A closed upper level low currently located over far northern Idaho will move east across Montana tonight and is forecast to be over northeast Montana by 12 UTC Sunday, and will move east along the International border into northwest Minnesota by late Sunday afternoon. The upper low weakens through this entire period. However, the low itself, and a strong compact upper level jet rotating around the base of the low will produce scattered showers and possibly some isolated mainly afternoon thunderstorms. The increased cloud cover with this upper level system will result in high temperatures generally in the low to mid 70s on Sunday.
100 PM MDT Sat Jul 20 2019 Below normal temperatures are expected as a low pressure system moves across northern Montana through this evenign.
331 PM EDT Sat Jul 20 2019 Synopsis/Discussion - Strong to severe storms into early tonight - Cooler Sunday with a chance of showers and thunderstorms south - Mostly dry and much cooler most of this coming week The short story is we have considerable instability today and a severe thunderstorm watch. Beyond that the upper level eastern trough comes back into play so cooler and dry weather is expected most of this coming week. Some short waves rotating into the eastern trough may bring a few showers mid week and later in the week.
/issued 908 AM EDT Sat Jul 20 2019/ Broad high pressure south of Bermuda continues to ridge west over the Florida peninsula producing light east-southeast winds this morning. Daytime high temps will reach the low to mid 90's with heat indices between 100-103 degrees. High pressure continues to ridge over the area producing pleasant boating conditions over the coastal waters.
A slow moving vort max meandering around a 590dam H5 ridge along the AL/GA boarder may help increase coverage, favoring the western zones. A H5 vort max continues to meander along the fringe of the mid level ridge which may help support another round of late morning to late evening showers/storms across the region.
With the high moisture content of the atmosphere tonight, locally heavy rainfall will be possible. Cooler and drier air builds in behind the disturbances tomorrow morning.
Cancelled the Excessive Heat Warning for the area, as the ongoing thunderstorms and winds shifting north/northeast behind the cold front are bringing in cooler temperatures and resultant heat index values. Gradual cold air advection occurs during this time, helping bring in some cooler and less humid conditions to the area. Winds off the lake should keep lakeshore areas a little cooler than inland.
expect lows tonight to get close to this mornings lows as not much change in the airmass is forecast until the cold front arrives Sunday evening. with a few spots getting into the lower 70s.
Sunday Night Through Saturday The upper flow tilting northwest will bring a seasonably strong and rather large anticyclone south from Canada. The high will linger across the area for several days. The temperature and humidity may begin to creep up late in the period as the high shifts off to the east. Otherwise VFR conditions are expected during the TAF period as a ridge of high pressure builds in across the western Great Lakes region.
1018 PM EDT Sat Jul 20 2019 Currently - A surface pressure ridge extends westward across Florida in to the northern Gulf of Mexico, while the lower level ridge is a little further north. A very subtle, but moisture rich, lower level trough has moved into our general vicinity. Outside of convectively influenced winds, background ridging will continue to dominate the flow. Overnight lows will be broadly near 80 degrees, with places remaining in the lower 80s, and rain affected areas dipping into the mid to upper 70s. A ridge across the Florida Peninsula will remain across the Florida Peninsula overnight, resulting in gentle east to southeast breezes across Keys waters.
/issued 241 PM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019/ (Today and Tonight) Upper level high pressure will continue to dominate West Central Texas Weather tonight and Sunday, resulting in sunny, dry and hot weather again on Sunday.
940 PM CDT Sat Jul 20 2019 Have updated to remove rain chances along the highway 20 corridor tonight. Cooler, drier and more stable air has worked into the region. In the wake of significant morning convective line and modification of the lower level air mass, have seen isolated to scattered thunderstorms redevelop mainly south of a KMWM-KFSD-KANW line with residual elevated instability. Otherwise, clearing will begin to work southward, but a system moving from the Rockies into the central plains will begin to track northeast overnight, and could spread some precipitation back into the lower Missouri River valley later tonight.
STRONG SURFACE HEATING HAS PUSHED TEMPS INTO THE LOWER 90S WHILE DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S. WE ARE SEEING THE BEST TOWERING CUMULUS ACROSS INLAND AREAS INCLUDING MUCH OF SOUTHERN SC DUE TO CONVERGENCE IN A LEE TROUGH AND ALONG THE DEVELOPING SEA BREEZE. THE WEAK FRONTAL TROUGH MAY HELP TO PRODUCE SOME LATE NIGHT PATCHY FOG OR STRATUS. A WEAK SURFACE INLAND TROF AND THE EASTWARD EDGE OF A STRONG MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
ALTHOUGH A MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS EXTENDS FROM TEXAS EASTWARD TO ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST.
