The well advertised arctic front has moved through leaving in its wake much colder than average temperatures. Temperatures today will not rise much above the mid 30's which is nearly 20 degrees below a typical high for today. Now that the snow associated with frontal passage has ended, lake effect is trying to get started. The cold arctic air is generating instability over the lake but the extremely dry nature of the air is working against the production of strong lake effect snow bands. The models are indicated the band of snow will intensify later this morning, but so far that has not happened. The high pressure will work east overnight first shifting the snow east and then shutting off the lake effect. On Wednesday expect more sunshine with highs rising to near 40. This will give way to the coldest night this fall with temperatures falling into the low to middle 20's for much of the area. For the rest of the week, temperatures will continue to moderate and reach the mid to upper 50's area wide by the weekend.
A large high pressure will move in Wednesday providing sunshine and setting the stage for moderating temperatures for the remaining part of the week.
The high pressure will settle off the east coast moving the jet stream north of the USA-Canada border. This weekend temperatures will rise into the mid and upper 50's which will be five (5) to ten (10) degrees above normal for this time of the year. Current indications are that a strong storm system will move out of the West early next week that may bring another large swing in temperatures. A post later this week will take a closer look at this potential storm system and its possible impacts on Northeast Ohio.
