Good afternoon, folks. We continue to track a big wind maker into the region tonight and early Saturday. This will bring high enough winds to cause issues for much of the area as we see this active pattern getting ready to take it up a notch.
Our winds are going to crank to 40mph-50mph tonight and early Saturday. Some of the models are now forecasting gusts in excess of 50mph…
This wind is along a cold front slamming in from the northwest late tonight into Saturday morning. A few showers will increase this afternoon, but the bulk of the rains arrive late this evening and continue through Saturday morning. Here are your radars to follow the showers…
As the cold front pushes through on Saturday, skies clear quickly as temps drop through the day. Gusty winds will make it feel much colder.
The pattern after this is one we really have to watch closely next week into the following weekend. A stalled boundary will likely feature waves of low pressure working through the region, bringing rounds of heavy rain…
Those “firehose” looking patterns can put down a lot of rain, folks!
This soggy setup will then lead us into the colder setup developing for the middle of the month. The week of the 12th has been my target week for the past month and the Ensembles like that week too…
I will have another update later today. Have a fantastic Friday and take care.
I guess it is safe to say that the quasi-drought will be coming to an end.
Rains over the next several days will be most welcome here in Maple. I hope enough rain accumulates to put a dent in this drought that’s ongoing. I never seen it this dry in over 35 years.
Hope this won’t be our weather type at Christmas. I’d like to see at lease 3 or 4 decent Snowstorms before Spring takes hold sometime in April. Adding 0 Ice storms please Mother Nature.
Can do without the horrendous winds that may come late this evening through tomorrow.
