Friday Afternoon

Synopsis:

After the powerful series of cold fronts touched off severe thunderstorms yesterday, cooler weather is on tap for the weekend into early next week as high pressure will settle in. There will be a much weaker front passing through on Monday, which will touch off a few showers.

Models Used: 12z NAM, GFS, ECMWF, SREF; Hi-Res NAM not needed

All the models were all in agreement with the overall synoptic pattern over the next five days. High pressure will settle in overnight, clearing out the clouds and instability-driven, lake-enhanced showers. The high will move offshore Sunday AM and the southerly flow will advect in some warmer air. The GFS, NAM, & Euro each had the timing of this front for a wee hours to late afternoon passage (going from west to east). And high pressure will settle in for next week.
