The sharp trough from Halloween weekend has moved off the
east coast as an upper level ridge has taken its place over the Eastern US. Over the weekend
a strong area of low pressure produced heavy snow over the southern Appalachians
Mountains and eastern Maine. Light snowfall dusted areas from the Great Lakes
Region east and as far south as South Carolina. Today much milder conditions
have returned with many areas of the Great Lakes seeing high temperatures in the
lower 60’s. The mild weather will be
fleeting as another upper level trough of low pressure carves out over the
Eastern part of the county by the weekend.
A ridge of high pressure will be building over the Western States
providing above normal temperatures for areas west of the Rocky Mountains.
Today the area is experiencing flow out of the south and
west as high pressure moves off the East Coast. A storm system is beginning to
organize over the central part of the country along a weak cold front.
On Tuesday the area will continue to see mild conditions
with high temperatures in the middle to maybe even upper 60’s. The weak cold
front will move the area late Tuesday with a threat of showers.
On Wednesday the weak cold front will have moved through the
region. The air behind the front not terrible cold so high temperatures maybe be a
few degrees above normal.
On Thursday a stronger area of low pressure will be taking aim
on the area. The chances of rain be increasing during the day with near normal temperatures. After the front pushes through temperatures will fall
below normal with high temperatures on Friday and Saturday remaining in the 40’s.
On Sunday another low pressure will be tracking through the
Ohio River Valley. This system may generate rain showers as it moves by and it
will allow another cold front out of Canada to target the area. With this pattern
temperatures will stay below normal with next week possibly bringing the
coldest air of the young cold weather season.
