MONDAY Update:  Cold Departs – Radically Warmer – Very Wet & Stormy Week Ahead

Good Morning!  Our big temperature turn-around begins today.  By Tuesday, well be well up in the 60’s.  Looks like we’ll reach 70+ Wednesday through Friday. What a change in reality. Rainfall amounts could be quite excessive in spots this week.  Not sure about severe weather yet, but we could see a Marginal Risk, perhaps by Wednesday or Thursday.  Here’s my brief forecast discussion. 

TODAY:  A Cold sub-freezing start in the 20’s this morning.But, say bye bye to Arctic Air.  Our big temperature turn-around begins today. Sun & cloud mix.  Increasing clouds. High 57. (Normal: 60/36).  Mosty cloudy, not nearly as cold tonight. (isolated shower overnight?)   Low 44.  A great start to our recovery.   (Sunday’s lo/hi 18/44.  Awful!)

NEXT FEW DAYS:  Our memories of the Arctic Cold will soon will be a distant memory.  Tuesday’s high of 66 will be nice change. We’ll be 70 or above Wednesday through Friday.  Rain and thunderstorms likely, at times, Tuesday night through Saturday.  What a radical change of patterns. 

A big ridge of upper level high pressure will wipeout the Arctic Cold and promote warmth. 

Rainfall amounts could be quire excessive in spots this week.  Perhaps 3-5”.  Maybe more in some areas.

Here’s the 10 day Model Blend Temperature trend.  Talk about a complete pattern turn-around. 

Want to peek farther out?   Here’s the EURO model 16 days out.  Happy to say I do not see any Arctic Air through 16 days.

This morning everything is normal including Live on the radio 6 to 9AM on NewsTalk 93.1 WACV.  There will be another Blog update in the morning.
