Gotta Fix My Goof...

Hey Gang...

I messed up.  More specifically, my computer didn't post my updated version of my forecast before I closed out this morning.

Two things that will bring us some rain at least through early tomorrow, even if only scattered:

This is part of the 500 millibar upper air model.  This is the computer's take on the airflow and such at 18,000 feet up.  You see the brown shading over Michigan and the X over Wisconsin?  These are two uper disturbances in the bigger flow.  The general wind flow is the blue forked lines and pressures are the black lines.

These will be enough to touch off some isolated to widely scattered showers and perhaps a lonely thunderstorm as the day progresses.  By tomorrow, the "X" over Wisconsin will have rotated into Michigan, thus bringing us a chance at more of the same.

Seeing those changes, here's the amended forecast slides:

Part of me being a responsible forecaster/blogger is making sure the info I have is the best and most accurate I can present.  I apologize for the goof and I'll work harder to make sure it doesn't recur.  Have a good day!

Sunshine Spectacular!

Good Morning!

More Images than text today, but that's fine - not a lot to talk about.

"COOL SNAP":  Big-time trough over the eastern half of the US of A with a cold front sagging as far south as Tennessee.  We're well into the cool part of it.  Look at this water vapor satellite image to see what I mean:

The front is roughly on the south side of the brown streak, which is REALLY dry air.

Showers and storms south of it, dry, cool, refreshing north.

Here's what I expect the next several days, and the forecast...

And a sun-filled extended outlook!

Have a great day!  Blessings.
