Wednesday, November 6th, 2013 - Morning Weather Discussion

Well, things are likely to get interesting toward the middle to end of next week.  First though, we will have a beautiful day today with a high in the upper 50’s, followed by showers and thunderstorms tomorrow morning as a cold front approaches.  The high tomorrow morning will be in the mid 50’s but temperatures will drop throughout the day as the front passes, with the rain coming to an end in the early afternoon, followed by clearing.  Friday through Monday will then be quite nice but cool with lows dropping into the 20’s by Saturday morning and highs only in the upper 40’s on Friday and the mid 40’s on Saturday.  Sunday may be a touch warmer with highs reaching the low 50’s, but dropping back to the upper 40’s again on Monday.  Tuesday we will then see increasing cloudiness with a chance of a shower in the evening as an arctic cold front will drop down and through our area in the evening.  This front will cause any lingering showers to change to snow flurries late on Tuesday night.  Then on Wednesday it appears as if this front may then start to move back north slowly as a warm front.  However the cold air will be in place behind this front with high temperatures expected to only reach the mid to upper 30’s on Wednesday with the chance of a snow shower.  Then on Thursday the cold air may be well entrenched with temperatures only in the upper 20’s to low 30’s during the day on Thursday at the same time that the warm front approaches our area with some precipitation.  If things work out as the European model is currently showing we would see light snow in the morning on Thursday, mixing with and changing to light sleet on Thursday afternoon, then mixing with and changing to light freezing rain on Thursday evening, prior to finally changing to light rain late on Thursday night.  After the warm front finally passes to our north early on Friday morning temperatures will warm to above freezing and the frozen precipitation would become just rain showers.  After this, as we head into next weekend, there is likely to be another storm to be concerned about, however at the moment it appears that the warmer air will be in place so it should be rain but this is still a long way out, so be sure to check back for updates.   This whole forecast could easily change quite dramatically in any direction from Tuesday night on, so be sure to check back for updates.
