Week Weather Outlook- Wed PM
The "boring weather" I spoke of earlier in the week has also changed and we have some interesting developments in the short range and possibly the weekend.
All major models (NAM-WRF and the GFS) show a clipper-type disturbance dropping down from the Great Lakes and exploding a bit as it gets over us. Showers and thunderstorms are likely for Thursday into Thursday evening, as this low pressure system moves through, according to the models. (It will be interesting to see if the rain forecast by the models for Thursday afternoon really develops....the soil moisture is so low and we're in a small drought...the models often overestimate the power of these clipper systems.)
Things have also changed for the weekend. The weekend forecast is very uncertain at this time. High pressure will be departing on Saturday and a warm front is expected to cause showers and some clouds. A cold front may move through on Sunday with more showers. With the short range forecast having changed so dramatically for Thursday, it would be a guess to predict for this weekend at this time. Consider a mix of clouds and sun, with a chance of a shower on both days. I'll try to pin it down tomorrow.
