A COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT WINDS TO THE NW THIS AFTERNOON.
A SHARP LATE SEASON COLD FRONT BROUGHT A ROUND OF MODERATE AND AT TIMES HEAVY RAIN TO NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS LAST NIGHT. LEAVING SCATTERED SHOWERS IN ITS WAKE AS COOLER AIR ALOFT FILTERS INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. WITH A MARKED INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY EXPECTED DURING THE MID MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON AS THE CORE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW AND COLDEST AIR ALOFT MOVES ONSHORE. AND SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF WET SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER PEAKS OF THE REGION.
The high resolution models indicate 2 waves of precipitation moving inland.
VFR WITH CLEARING SKIES AND LIGHT VARIABLE TO NORTHERLY WINDS IN WAKE OF COLD FRONT PASSING THIS MORNING. UPPER LVL RIDGE AXIS WILL BE JUST WEST OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH TEXAS TODAY. AND COULD SEE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AS IMPULSES MOVE OFF UPPER LOW AND NORTHERN MEXICO (THOUGH MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY HAS BEEN DIMINISHING OVER MEXICO BEFORE REACHING THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS EARLY THIS MORNING). SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES TODAY CAN BE EXPECTED IN WAKE OF FROPA THIS MORNING. RAISED HIGHS TOMORROW BY A DEGREE OR TWO ACROSS WESTERN ZONES WHERE LESS RAIN TO KEEP THINGS COOLER IS EXPECTED.
The main band of showers and thunderstorms near the weak cold front will push out of west Kentucky shortly. Meanwhile, some widely scattered light showers rotating around the upper low may sneak east southeast along the I-64 corridor through sunrise. The upper low is expected to move east southeast across central/southern Indiana today. With temperatures climbing into the low to mid 70s and the 850mb cold pool moving through the EVV Tri State today, some sufficient shallow instability may develop to support isolated to scattered shower activity possibly beginning before 18Z.
737 AM EDT FRI APR 22 2016 SHOWERS EXPECTED TODAY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH NEARS THE OHIO RIVER BY THIS AFTERNOON WITH INCREASING JET SUPPORT ALOFT AHEAD OF IT. RAIN CHANCES WILL TAPER DOWN FROM NW TO SE IN THE EVENING AS THE TROUGH SHIFTS EAST. RIDGING THEN BUILDS IN THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE SOUTH OF THE HUDSON BAY LOW FAVORED TO REMAIN WELL TO OUR NORTH.
ADDITIONAL ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER REMAINS TOO MARGINAL TO MENTION IN THE HWO GIVEN THE LOW BULK SHEAR VALUES. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL SHIFT WELL EAST OF THE AREA BY SATURDAY MORNING. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. CONDITIONS WILL DRY OUT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT BUT WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE FOG DEVELOPMENT LATE TONIGHT IN FUTURE TAF ISSUANCES.
ALL OF THIS CONVECTION AHEAD OF A WEAK FRONTAL TROUGH THAT WILL PASS ACROSS THE AREA LATE OVERNIGHT. A WEAK FRONTAL TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS LATE IN THE PERIOD.
Initial cold front has pushed the deep moisture south and east of the area, but low-level moisture lingers ahead of the more substantial cold advection surge. For tonight and Wednesday, a broad eastern CONUS upper trof and 1021mb high pressure building out of the Upper Midwest will bring one of the Top 10 picture postcard days of the summer.
843 AM EDT TUE JUN 28 2016 The 12z analysis depicts upper level ridging across the western states with troughing across the Great Lakes. A west-east oriented cold front stretches from Kansas eastward to the northeast states. Upper level ridging has retreated westward, now focused over the southwestern states and northwestern Mexico. At the surface, a weak cold front is evident across the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and mid-Mississippi Valley. Highs today will be in the low to mid 90s.
Laramie Range and the Cheyenne Ridge early this morning. In particular, high res models also show localized backing of winds vicinity of the North Platte River valley and Pine Ridge.
641 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2016 A weak frontal boundary combined with an upper-level trough will allow for VCTS conditions this afternoon across most terminal sites with the exception of TXK/ELD.
Not counting on the Delta Breeze to bring any cooling today and have updated a few of the max temps for today to be about as warm or a degree or two warmer than Mon. The 24 hr temp trend this morning showed some cooling Nrn Sac Vly and this could be the reflection of the upper trof nearing 130W and capping 5H heights over the far Nrn zones. Late Wed and Thu the aforementioned upper trof is expected to weaken the ridge over Norcal initiating some minor cooling and continuing a small chance of thunder over a portion of the mtns.
Broad upper level ridge has shifted further west. Sagging of upper level trough over the Gulf Coast states today is forecasted to increase upper diffluence.
An upper level ridge of high pressure continues to dominate our weather with very warm temperatures and light winds.
Cooler Canadian air had overspread the state, with early morning temperatures in the 50s. High pressure will build into the region today, and linger through midweek. This yielded highs in the lower to middle 70s today, and upper 70s to lower 80s on Wednesday, with slightly cooler readings near Lake Michigan.
The upper high center to our northwest will move over NM by midweek then shift into TX for the late week period. The high then redevelops to our west over the Holiday weekend.
A continuation of cooler air pushing into the area in northerly low level flow should result in highs today reaching only the mid to upper 70s along I-74 and just north. to the lower 80s from Jacksonville through Effingham. Latest model runs show little change in the projected upper air pattern for the week, with a broad scale trough over the eastern U.
Models are in general agreement placing the subtropical ridge over the four corners region. The high resolution HRRR and RAP13 models do bring convection into the Low Rolling Plains and Permian Basin from the east/northeast early this aftn as a weak vort max rotates in. Models are in general agreement in slowly building the ridge south and east the remainder of the week and thru the weekend. The H85 thermal ridge will also shift east into NM and West TX.
/issued 419 AM EDT TUE JUN 28 2016/ Today through Wednesday: Broad upper level ridge centered over the Desert Southwest extends into the Southern plains and Southeast states during the short term period. Today through Wednesday the ridge remains in control through the region continuing the typical summertime weather pattern across South Florida. Wednesday night through Tuesday: The broad upper level ridge retrogrades westward into the four corners region and north Texas. An upper trough digs south over the East coast and Southern Plains bringing a cold front into the panhandle of Florida. As ridge builds across the west Atlantic and the Florida peninsula, a southwesterly flow sets up across the CWA. This high pressure will remain in control and bring an increase in moisture and rain chances into the area.
Currently, a cold front extends from Western New York through central Indiana and into east central Colorado.
A welcome break from the recent heat and humidity can be expected across central Indiana in the next few days, as much cooler and drier air works into the area.
Coverage of activity looks to be around 30 to 50 percent of the area with the higher concentration across the northern CWA. The Subtropical Ridge is currently centered over the Four Corners region. These will spread to the south and west across South Central Texas this afternoon due solar heating and outflow boundary interactions with the highest POPs along and north of I-10. The Subtropical Ridge drifts to the southeast across New Mexico during the day bringing drier air into Central Texas with no POPS there.
Broad ridge of high pressure remains over the region with center across Utah and resultant moderate Northwest flow across the plains of NE Colorado. On Wednesday, the upper level ridge of high pressure is centered over New Mexico, with a weak west to northwest flow aloft over Colorado. Some moisture caught up in the ridge, combined with daytime heating will help produce scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms, most numerous over the higher terrain. The low level moisture seems to be limited, therefore the storms should be high based with light rain and gusty winds.
High pressure will allow mostly sunny skies and light west winds to prevail today, along with afternoon temperatures in the 70s. Showers and thunderstorms chances increase across the forecast area Wednesday as an upper level low moved into Ontario; rotating a short wave with sfc reflection cold front across the region.
Ridge rebounds along the Continental Divide on Wednesday which will put Northeast Montana in a northwest flow aloft. A back door cold front is expected Wednesday afternoon and evening which combined with a somewhat unstable atmosphere will bring a chance or slight chance of thunderstorms through Wednesday Night.
High pressure offshore and a thermal trough along the coast will continue to bring north winds and steep seas.
Highs today will be in the 70s north to the lower 80s southwest.
727 AM EDT TUE JUN 28 2016 WV imagery and RAP analysis indicated confluent mid/upper level flow into Upper Michigan behind a trough that has moved southeast into lower MI. At the surface, high pressure from the nrn plains into nrn Ontario was building into the wrn Great Lakes. Today, As the high continues to build into the area, skies will remain mostly clear. Tonight, Although there may be some passing high clouds overnight,g generally favorable radiational cooling conditions will allow temps to fall toward the lower end of guidance with lows around 40 inland and the upper 40s closer to the Great Lakes.
930 AM EDT TUE JUN 28 2016 A cold front will approach from the northwest through Wednesday, then stall across the area into the weekend.
High pressure will continue to push south through the northern Plans and upper Midwest today. Models continue to indicate a weak secondary impulse dropping se into the forecast area today ahead of this next push of high pressure. The brunt of the change to cooler and less humid conditions will be felt on later tonight/Wednesday/Wednesday night as the high pressure to our north slips southeast into the mid MS River and OH Valley regions. The high will begin to move off to the east of the forecast area Thu/Thu night, allowing winds to turn more southerly and temps to begin a gradual warming trend.
/Issued 345 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2016/ Mid-level ridge centered near 4-corners expected to maintain weak northwest flow into Panhandles through Wednesday night.
Signals are certainly there in both the high resolution convective allowing models and lower resolution models. A couple of things that will probably act to enhance precipitation coverage and intensity later in the week will be 1) a fairly decent surface front which will slow down and perhaps become quasi-stationary across southern Kansas and 2) some minor mid level perturbations/enhanced mid level moisture rotating around weak ridging, thanks to abundance of mountain convection across the southern Rockies.
The 15z surface analysis indicated that the remnants of the pre- frontal trough was south of the forecast area well into central Alabama, extending northeast into north Georgia. Isolated to scattered showers were mainly occurring south of the Tennessee river and will slowly sink southward in the low-mid level northwest flow through the afternoon. The main cold front to the northwest of the forecast area was situated from west to east across southeast Missouri through north central Kentucky at 15z.
629 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2016 At H5 strong high pressure over desert southwest with ridge extending into western canada. Gulf of Alaska low sending waves underneath ridge over the Pacific Northwest. Trough over the Great Lakes. Ridge pushing east today into the northern and central plains with temperatures about a category higher over yesterdays highs. Precipitation continuing through the night with warmer over night lows in the 60s.
/issued 641 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2016/ A weak frontal boundary combined with an upper-level trough will allow for VCTS conditions this afternoon across most terminal sites with the exception of TXK/ELD.
Convective activity is result of a minor trof tracking through the broad high pressure ridge covering the western states. The trof and precip will exit our forecast area this morning, with a return of clear to partly cloudy skies and high temps in the mid-upper 80s expected through this aftn. A second trof currently over southeast BC/western AB will move along the US/Can border this evening and produce another round of isolated thunderstorms, mainly along and east of a line from Chester to Ft Benton to Judith Gap.
916 AM EDT TUE JUN 28 2016 A reinforcing cold front moves through today. Cooler for the remainder of the week. Previous discussion Upper level trough moving through during the short term, but behind the cold front moisture should be somewhat limited.
Temps across the cwa were in the lower 70s with near 70 dewpoints.
/issued 401 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2016/ SHORT TERM (Today through Wednesday):High pressure continues to dominate the region aloft, stretching into Texas from the northwest. Moisture remains limited as well underneath the edge of the ridge, but the seabreeze will have just enough forcing to pop a few showers during the day.
1237 PM EDT TUE JUN 28 2016 A cold front will approach from the northwest through Wednesday, then stall across the area into the weekend.
Airmass remains dry in southwest flow aloft, so other than cumulus development over the higher mountain peaks conditions will remain dry under full sun. mostly clear skies today with scattered cumulus over the the higher terrain of Southwest Idaho. Upper-level ridge will remain over the area through Wednesday.
With increasing clouds lows tonight should stay in the mid to upper 50s in all but the far eastern tier which will be a bit cooler.
937 AM EDT TUE JUN 28 2016 High pressure offshore will allow a more humid air mass to move into the region on a southerly wind. A slow moving cold front approaching from the west will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms through Wednesday.
A better chance for organized convection will exist this afternoon and evening over Southeast Georgia as a trough of low pressure moves into the region.
/issued 328 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2016/ Upper-level high pressure centered near the 4-corners and extending into northwest Texas shows little indication of shifting today, leaving our area in weak northeasterly flow aloft. The high-res guidance such as HRRR, RAP, and TTU-WRF all suggest a scattering of small convective cells developing across the area by late morning - although they do show quite a bit of variation in the overall coverage and location.
1200 PM CDT TUE JUN 28 2016 A secondary cold front will drop southward across the Ozarks today as the region comes under the influence of a northwesterly flow aloft. A drier and cooler airmass will filter into portions the area tonight behind the front especially from central Missouri into the eastern Ozarks.
1259 PM EDT TUE JUN 28 2016 WV imagery and RAP analysis indicated confluent mid/upper level flow into Upper Michigan behind a trough that has moved southeast into lower MI. At the surface, high pressure from the nrn plains into nrn Ontario was building into the wrn Great Lakes. Today, As the high continues to build into the area, skies will remain mostly clear. Tonight, Although there may be some passing high clouds overnight,g generally favorable radiational cooling conditions will allow temps to fall toward the lower end of guidance with lows around 40 inland and the upper 40s closer to the Great Lakes.
Temps will be very similar to yesterday with much above normal temps inland and slightly warmer than normal hgts at the coast. It looks like the eddy will be weaker tonight so the low clouds should be confined to the L. The upper high will push to the east on Wednesday and hgts will fall and onshore flow will increase.
With the high PW and a slow storm motion around 5 to 10 knots to the south, main concern will be efficient rain producers that may cause minor street flooding. With the increase in convection and overall cloud cover, temperatures will be cooler for the next couple of days.
940 AM EDT TUE JUN 28 2016 High pressure will build over the mid section of the country as a cold front moves from the Ohio Valley to the East Coast today. An upper level trough of low pressure will pass east through the Great Lakes region later today and tonight.
643 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2016 The secondary cold front stretches pretty much along I-70 at 08z. Otherwise high pressure will build southward from the upper MS Valley today in the wake of the cold front. Highs today will be cooler than yesterday but have trended a tad warmer than the previous forecast. The high centered will continue to settle southeastward into IL tonight, and then move slowly into the OH Valley Valley by Wednesday night.
A secondary cold front will drop southward across the Ozarks today as the region comes under the influence of a northwesterly flow aloft. A drier and cooler airmass will filter into portions the area tonight behind the front especially from central Missouri into the eastern Ozarks.
Surface wise, a Western Atlantic ridge remains aligned across the southern half of the Florida peninsula, with variable winds of 10 knots or less on our entire marine district. A deep tropospheric Western Atlantic ridge will build across the southern half of the sunshine state, resulting in some drier air to filter into our region below 700 mb. Showers near the Lower Keys may bring sub-vfr conditions to KEYW for the next few hours.
The Subtropical Ridge is currently centered over the Four Corners region. These will spread to the south and west across South Central Texas this afternoon due solar heating and outflow boundary interactions with the highest POPs along and north of I-10. The Subtropical Ridge drifts to the southeast across New Mexico during the day bringing drier air into Central Texas with no POPS there.
Ridge axis remains across the western CONUS early in the period before flattening a bit by late in the period as strong upper trough moves into the upper midwest.
This decrease in muggy conditions the result of an expected dry summer time cold frontal passage from north to south across the mid state during the afternoon hours today. This will set the stage for Upper Midwest 1022 mb high pressure center influences to build into the mid state region late afternoon and into tonight, with lows tonight expected in the mid 60s, lower 60s Cumberland Plateau Region.
The sky was mostly clear overnight, as high pressure continued to build into the region. Early morning temperatures ranged from the low 60s along Highway 20, to the low 70s in far southeast Iowa. Cooler and dry conditions highlight the short term forecast period. For today, cooler air will continue to filter into the forecast area, with 850 mb temps from 8C to 12C from north to south by afternoon. Wednesday, high pressure will begin to move east with a moderating airmass and a modest warm-up from the previous day. Have held the southern counties above guidance in the low 80s.
