DISCUSSION

Persistent H5 troughing over the eastern CONUS will briefly transition to a more active and milder W-NW zonal pattern. This will bring a moderation in temperatures back to near normal values on Tuesday into Wednesday. Two weak disturbances within this flow will bring schc to chc PoPs to the EVV Tri-State on Wednesday morning and again Thursday night into Friday morning. Thermal profiles will be supportive of just light rain on Wednesday. However, precipitation may start as a light rain/snow mix Thursday night before switching to all rain Friday morning. As of this time, no accumulating snow is expected.
We will transition back to very chilly conditions Friday through next weekend as lobe of very dry Arctic air becomes dislodged and swings through the northern Great Plains and Great Lakes region. Latest model guidance has backed off on having the region see the full brunt of this cold air mass. It now looks to be more of glancing blow. Forecast temperatures this weekend, while still forecast to be 10-15 degrees below normal, have trended up about 5-10 degrees from yesterday's forecast values. This brings this high temperatures in the upper 20s to lower 30s this weekend with overnight lows in the teens. Morning wind chill values will still fall into single digits over much of the region as well.
