WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST

Little change in the forecast since my “outlook” was posted yesterday.

Fast moving high pressure will bring cold temperatures for Saturday.  Saturday starts with some cloudiness, but skies clear by early afternoon.  It will be cold.  High 38º (based on the NBM model) or 43º ( based on the EKDMOS).   I think the colder model will be correct.  It will be breezy.

Early Sunday morning, a weak warm front moves across with some clouds early.   Skies clear for sunshine by mid morning.  Milder but still below average temps.  (High 43º NBM or 45º EKDMOS)

Rain for Monday and Monday evening.  A strong cold front moves through late Tuesday. 

Rain, turning to snow showers early Wednesday morning.  Very cold Wednesday and Thursday.   I’ll keep an eye on the system for late Tuesday into Wednesday.

[su_note note_color=”#bceaed”]For you weather model fans, the NBM (National Blend of Models) gets an upgrade to version 3.2 next week Dec 17th.  The NBM combines several short and medium range model forecasts, including  the European and Canadian models and statistically weights them according to their performance over their first six hour forecast accuracy.   It’s run every hour.  It’s been very good at predicting rain vs snow and total precipitation.
