Our dry conditions today will continue through the overnight hours
tonight, allowing for temperatures to drop into the upper 60s to low
70s by. Recent rain and increased southerly flow has increased dew
points enough that some patchy fog could be possible across the
region, but winds should stay elevated enough to prevent widespread
impacts. The dry conditions bleed into Sunday morning before a more
disturbed weather pattern takes over late Sunday afternoon.
Southerly flow will continue promoting moisture transport from the
Gulf and allow for rain development in our southern zones from an
apparent sea breeze during the afternoon. At the same time, the
upper-level pattern above the region shifts to a northwestern flow
regime due to the dominant area of low pressure in the Northern
Plains. Some rain associated with this pattern could begin impacting
our northern zones as early as mid afternoon Sunday.
Previous forecast discussions have talked about model
discrepancies with another area of low pressure that looks to
take shape over Montana on Monday. Recent runs of the Euro have
seemed to align better with the consistent prediction of the GFS.
This is most notable in the low`s path towards Missouri over the
following days. There are still differences in the intensity and
speed between the models that will hopefully align better with
time.
Regardless of Wednesday`s happenings, our northwest flow regime
will bring daily rain chances for various areas this week. In
addition to some much needed rain, temperatures should come down
slightly and more closely represent average seasonal temperatures.
High temperatures could solidly land in the 80s by Thursday with
overnight lows in the 60s. Current forecast guidance has different
solutions for the end of the work week, but the current thinking
is that dry conditions will return by the weekend with more hot
temperatures on the docket.
