:: Cool down?
Well, we didn't quite get the 72 I was hoping for today....well with rounding we get 72 (71.5 was the official high here at lakevilleweather.com). However, the weekend was excellent weather-wise. Dry and mild...perfect springtime!
The early week charts and models have a pool of colder-than-usual Canadian air arriving in the central plains and sipping along the northern branch of our split jet stream which is pushing across the great lakes this week. This means a cool down of sorts, an increase in cloudiness, and depending on humidity levels, a chance of diurnal shower activity. This will be a relatively short-lived event, it seems, with CFP by noon tomorrow, and any chance of precip drying up by tuesday AM.
Later in the week (thurs-fri?) looks like a trough might build in from pac-nw, depending on what jet decides to do. Aleution low is progged to trip a strong downslope impulse east of the front range of the Rockies, vis-a-vis the northern branch of the polar jet, or maybe a coupled jet might evolve. Either feature will provide some potential for precip. We will see.
