:: Status Quo
Looks like we will not (*knock on wood*) hit the freezing point tonight as threatened by many AM forecasters today. CFP (cold front passage) was on the mark, just after noontime, and temps modified in kind along with dedication of wind field to a northerly direction (shifting from west). After sundown, however, not much rate of change for temps. I will say we hit 35 tops as the low...time will tell. Precip is staying south of metro, and I am not confident we will see much here...maybe a sprinkle thru midnight.
Longer term shows that Canuck high camping out in the Great Plains for the balance of the week. Things will dry out everywhere (in fact, most moisture here today is being pulled south by low pressure in the Ozarks.) We saw a similar high pressure dominance a couple weeks ago when we had tems in mid-80's. If winds settle down, we could see a repeat in my opinion. Most forecasts and models are holding to 70 as daily highs with pure unabated sunshine for the duration. I am willing to bet 77 by Thursday. By Friday and Saturday, predicted troughing of the jet will give us chances of precip, but too far out to tell if thunder threat will be present.
