Departing Storm May Help Create Another Powerful System
Good morning everyone. This is the time of year where we start watching for trailing fronts of old systems getting hung up in Florida and along the Gulf of Mexico. The reason being is that they could help generate a wave of low pressure that could get picked up by a piece of energy coming out of the Rockies. When this happens, concerns grow for the East Coast in terms of soaking, windswept rain. Quite possibly, we are watching one of these scenarios play out, and it could be an ugly one due to the amount of rain we just had.
The good news is that we have a very quite week ahead, and should be able to dry out over the next 6-7 days. It’ll be on the chilly side, but temps should modify by Friday and into the weekend before our next possible system arrives. The bad news is that the ground will be soft and any type of high wind situation, combined with more heavy rain, could equate to easily-downed trees, power outages, and more flooding.
Here’s the latest on our workweek and we will continue to watch the models.
SATELLITE
For today, it’ll be a blustery one with partial clearing. Highs in the mid 40’s will drop before sunset, and it’ll be a cold one overnight in the 20’s and low 30’s.
We’ll have full sunshine tomorrow and lighter winds, highs in the low to mid 40’s.
WEATHER RADAR
Sunshine continues on Wednesday with more mid 40’s, then we go a little chiller on Thursday with near 40 temps. Things modify on Friday with upper 40’s to near 50.
So far your weekend is looking quiet, with sunshine and upper 40’s to near 50 Saturday; then increasing clouds Sunday and 45-50 degree temps. We’ll be watching that next system (if it comes to fruition) for late Sunday into Monday.
