Friday, October, 18th, 2013 - Morning Weather Discussion

This morning’s run of the models is not showing any big changes from the prior runs through the next week, but towards the end of the forecast period there are some significant changes as it is now starting to appear as if the storm for the first part of the following week may head up into the Great Lakes instead of developing to our south and east.  If that occurs it would allow warm air to stream north ahead of the storm, bringing briefly warmer temperatures and showers again, prior to colder air moving in behind the storm.  We will have to wait and see how that all works out as this potential storm is still a long way out, but that is how it looks this morning.  Anyway, in the mean time we will have a nice day today followed by a chance of a shower tomorrow night and again on Wednesday.  After the storm system moves by on Wednesday MUCH colder air will filter into our area behind it, bringing us low temperatures in the low to mid 30’s and the highs only around 50 from Thursday through Saturday, with a slight chance of a rain or snow shower each day.  Then next Sunday morning will be the coldest day of them all with sub-freezing lows in the upper 20’s to low 30’s possible, and a high once again around 50.  Then early the following week the weather will completely depend upon if and where a potential storm develops.  As I stated previously, this morning it appears as if this storm may track up into the Great Lakes.  If the storm does take a track to the Great Lakes it would cause warm air to stream into our area, brining highs approaching 60 next Monday and a chance of showers next Tuesday with a high reaching the mid to upper 60’s.  Behind this storm cold air would once again move back into our area dropping the temperatures back to the 50’s next Wednesday, and the 40’s next Thursday.
