Good Tuesday to one and all. Our pattern is about to undergo a rather drastic change as we leave the boring days behind us for a more exciting brand of weather. This will include heavy rain and a blast of arctic air and some snow before the week is over.<\/p>\n

Today is one heck of a nice day with temps in the 50s and partly sunny skies. Clouds will roll in from the southwest tonight with rain quickly developing. This is from a strong low pressure that will ride right on top of us into Wednesday and bring heavy rainfall to our region. Many areas may pick up an inch or better of water through Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

The wintry portion of the show gets started on Thursday as an arctic front swings eastward across region. The arrival of the front will be during the morning hours in the west and will reach the east by late afternoon. Temps ahead of the front will spike toward the low 40s, while temps behind it drop into the 20s. Winds are going to really crank during this time, leading to a colder feel.<\/p>\n

The European Model continues to be rock solid with the upper level low closing off across the Ohio Valley Thursday into Friday. This has several pieces of energy rotating around it and each of these create lift, which in turn creates bouts of light snow and snow showers\/squalls. Here’s the Euro for Thursday Evening…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Check out how strong that upper love is on the top left panel. Now, check out the Relative Humidity levels on the bottom two panels. That’s the look of widespread light snow and squalls behind the arctic front on Thursday evening. The model then shows snow showers and squalls into Friday and has the clipper playing some role in our weather later Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Canadian Model mimics the Thursday and Friday forecast from the European. Check out the coverage on the snow from this model…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There will be a fluff factor will come into play as that is a heck of a cold shot. 850mb\u00a0Temps are forecast to -16c\u00a0to -18c across our region.<\/p>\n

How about the GFS? It’s still in the process of getting its act together and is just now figuring out there will be a closed upper low across our region…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Two things should happen with the GFS and NAM over the next few days. The temp forecasts from them will grow colder and they will begin to show more precipitation.<\/p>\n

The GFS Ensembles are much wetter than the poor GFS…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How much snow will you get where you live? That’s still to be determined as we have to wait and see exactly how it all plays out. You are not going to get a big snowstorm out of this and there was never a chance of that happening.<\/p>\n

Speaking of snowstorms… the phantom snowstorm on the GFS has disappeared. This is why I keep trying to get you guys to look at ALL the models. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Canada is about to go completely into the deep freeze over the next week and that air is just itching to come south into much of the United States. The European Model really wants to unleash the beast…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That’s some wicked cold entering the northern plains!!<\/p>\n

I will have another update later today. Have a fantastic Tuesday and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
