Mainly cloudy skies with a few holes hear and there, and very cold conditions around the area as I write this. Let's have a look at the current surface temperature map:
You can see that cold wedge that splits the west and east coasts of the nation. Let's take a deeper dive and see what we have:
THE WARMING STARTS AGAIN TOMORROW: If you can get through this next 24 hours, you'll be all set. We'll see readings climb back toward seasonal levels by the end of the week, seasonal being around 60 degrees. Sunshine filters in as the day progresses, and we'll have mainly clear skies by daybreak, but those don't last all that long, because we have...
A CHANCE OF RAIN THURSDAY & FRIDAY: Forecast model data shows me a surface low coming out of the Dakotas and southern Minnesota, moving across northern Wisconsin. It then takes a left and veers off northeast toward the Upper Peninsula and Canada. The questions are how strong does this get, and when does it take the turn? Because we don't have a clear picture just yet, we'll add the mention of some scattered showers in the area on Thursday into Friday. For my money, Friday will be the better day of the two for rain, as it appears the low basically vaporizes and a Canadian high sits a bit north of the border, pushing the fragments of that low back south and across the Midwest, keeping clouds around and some showers within those clouds.
CLEARING AND BRIEFLY COOLER FOR THE WEEKEND: Clouds get out of here Friday evening, bringing us sunshine and cooler conditions, with readings in the low 50's. Sunday, we'll start warming again back up to our seasonal upper 50's or lower 60's, and we stay there through the end of the forecast.
FAIRLY QUIET ACROSS THE NATION: No severe weather worries to deal with, after today, where the risk is confined to the eastern seaboard, nothing much to talk about according to the Storm Prediction Center.
OK, here's the forecast for Jackson and vicinity:
Today, mainly cloudy with a few peeks of sun, cold, high 35. Wind NW 8-16 MPH.
Tonight, clearing skies and very cold, lows all the way down to 16. Wind NW 5-10 MPH.
Wednesday, mixed sunshine and milder, high 49, wind SE 7-14 MPH.
Wednesday night, becoming cloudy and chilly, a stray sprinkle or two after midnight is possible, lows near freezing.
Thursday, mostly cloudy, some scattered afternoon showers are possible, high 58.l
There's a look at the forecast for you, I'll have a detailed outlook later!
