:: Weekly Planner (Update 1)
Waking up this AM to pure sunshine made me wander down to the computer to re-check models for the week...Now some alignment is happening with regard to the low - or the central pressure point - of our current weather maker. Checking MESONET data of both governmental and private weather stations this hour, good plot of surface winds correlated to the low center, wrapping around a point near Hinckley, MN. Central pressure of 1002 mb correlates as well, and stationary nature of the associated front or trough is characterized by matched pressure readings and fair wind/skies across MN this AM.
The problem with this setup, is that we may not see much movement from the low...models this AM show high pressure anchored over Appalachia blocking any eastward progress. The next short wave will usher in the upper level low, and we will get stuck with the cool, cloudy, spotty showers that are becoming too common. So for now, here is my update on the weekly planner (not getting better...)
Today: Partly, turning Mostly Cloudy, High 73, humid
Tonight: Mostly Cloudy, 50% chance of showers after 5pm, low 47
Wed: Partly Cloudy, 40% chc of showers, High 60, W winds 5-10
Wed Night: Cloudy, low 45, showers possible, W-NW winds 5-10
Thurs: Cloudy, cool, High 52 (ugh!), NW winds 10-15
Fri: Partly Cloudy, remaining cool, high 55, North winds 5-10
Sat: Partly Cloudy, high 65, eastlery winds, 10-20
