Rainy day tomorrow

As usual, the models have changed a little in the past day.  The most significant change is that a little pocket of energy has dropped out of Canada to enhance the northern part of the positively tilted trough moving slowly eastward over the central U.S.  That change will have two primary effects.  First, the western Great Lakes will get more snow than previously predicted.  Second, the weak cold front moving our way will probably be a larger rain-maker than I indicated.  Looks like about one inch plus or minus a quarter inch.

But, the changes , if anything, have reduced our already meager snow chances for late tomorrow.

Tonight

Increasing clouds and increasing temperatures tonight.  Rain arrives around 4 A.M. or later.  Temperatures rise to near 50 by morning.

Tomorrow

Rain, possibly heavy at times, during the morning.  Temperatures in the 50’s.  Rain tapers off during the afternoon and temperatures slowly fall into the 30’s. Rain ends about sundown – possibly changing to a little snow before ending.  No snow accumulation is expected, but a few areas could see a dusting.

Thursday+

A cold air mass will be rolling in all day.  A shot for some light Friday and the weekend.
