Sunday Night Technical Discussion

Synopsis

 

A warm front pushes upward across the state on Tuesday, creating a southerly flow. This front will cause temperatures to rise back into the mid-80s. The unseasonable temperatures will not last long however, as a cold front follows behind on Thursday. In between the fronts, we should expect to see some storms.

 

Short Term (through 12Z Tuesday)

 

The high pressure system lying over the state on Monday keeps the cool, dry conditions for the beginning of the week. Come midday on Tuesday, the direction of airflow switches direction as a warm front drapes north. We will see a return of the summer-like, humid air for the midweek.

Long Term (through 12Z Friday)

The warm temperatures continue through Tuesday and Wednesday. As a cold front approaches, there should be some storms throughout the state on Wednesday and possibly into Thursday. As the cold front passes, an air mass over Canada drops down into the state and drops temperatures back down. We get back into the comfortable fall-like conditions. Friday should be a pleasant day leading into the weekend.
