KEY MESSAGES
- Temperatures remain chilly through the weekend with highs climbing into the mid 40s and lows in the mid 20s.
- A warming trend will begin to take hold and lift temperatures into the low 60s by Wednesday.
- A period of calm weather will persist through the beginning of the week, with our next chance at rain will be Wednesday (20-30%).
- A strong storm system is on track to bring widespread precipitation to the area next Friday into the weekend, but still lots of details to work out on track and timing.
LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
A trend of warming temperatures is still forecasted into next week as a result of the surface high currently affecting the region begins to traverse eastward. This will cause the western half of the high pressure to shift our winds into a southerly motion, bringing in the aforementioned warmer temperatures. Temperatures are expected to be in the lower 60s across the CWA by Wednesday.
Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to see more breezy conditions as a tightening PGF sets in over the Great Plains region in response to a low pressure system expected to eject across the Central CONUS. EPS guidance shows wind gusts in excess of 30-40 mph. This wind will also help to advect moisture ahead of an associated cold front. This front will impact the CWA Wednesday into Thursday, giving us the next chance for rain (20-30%). Tracking and timing of this rain still remains uncertain, hence the 20-30% chance range.
Models are hinting at a potential disturbance moving through sometime late next Friday into the weekend. Details remain uncertain on any potential impacts like precipitation type and amounts. Trends will continue to be monitored through the next several days.
